UNSPSC 85871848: Fluoroscopy of right external carotid artery using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of right external carotid artery using high osmolar contrast. This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code B3190ZZ

UNSPSC 85871848 Fluoroscopy of right external carotid artery using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical title describes a specific radiological diagnostic procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure, school district special education services, and health system temporary staffing — none of which directly align with fluoroscopy contrast procedures. The single opportunity with any direct connection to imaging is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which seeks enterprise-grade software and implementation services supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging operations across approximately 78,000 annual diagnostic studies. The other two opportunities (Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle) have no connection to the fluoroscopy code's stated scope and appear to be miscoded or pulled from misaligned data.

Recent activity is sparse and geographically dispersed. The three opportunities span California (San Mateo Medical Center in San Mateo County and Santa Clara Health System) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County), with issuing bodies including a county-operated medical center, a school district, and a county health system. The San Mateo PACS solicitation, an RFP with questions due July 17 and proposals due August 7, 2026, calls for software, implementation, migration, training, and five-year support with 99.9% uptime and EPIC integration; evaluation weights 30 points to project approach, 25 to firm qualifications, 20 to team qualifications, and 25 to price. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its fluoroscopy-specific title.
