UNSPSC 85871853: Fluoroscopy of bilateral internal carotid arteries using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of bilateral internal carotid arteries using low 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 B3181ZZ

UNSPSC 85871853 Fluoroscopy of bilateral internal carotid arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect diagnostic fluoroscopy imaging services; instead, they span diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS platform), special education clinical services (evaluators and therapists), and a temporary health professional staffing qualification pool that includes diagnostic imaging/radiology among multiple ancillary categories. The mismatch between the code's specific clinical imaging procedure and the broader health system procurement activity suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all within their taxonomies for health-related diagnostics contracting.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of issuing bodies: a public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center in California), an independent school district in Texas (Birdville ISD), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic activity clusters in California and Texas. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due October 21, 2026) solicits an enterprise PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, requiring vendors to demonstrate prior PACS implementations in public sector or large health system settings. Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology, with no guaranteed work and potential five-year list maintenance. The Birdville ISD opportunity (also due October 21, 2026), while tagged under this code, covers special education contracted services unrelated to fluoroscopy or diagnostic imaging.
