UNSPSC 85871860: Fluoroscopy of left internal carotid artery using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left internal carotid artery 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 B3171ZZ

UNSPSC 85871860 Fluoroscopy of left internal carotid artery using low osmolar contrast, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure performed on individual patients, but the recent solicitation records tagged under this code reflect system-level health information technology procurement and staffing services rather than clinical procedure volume or imaging supplies. San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with a due date of October 21, 2026 targets enterprise radiology software supporting approximately 65,000 annual studies; Birdville Independent School District's October 2026 special education contracted services RFP covers audiologists, speech language therapists, and other clinical specialists across 30 campuses; and Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 solicitation establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in diagnostic imaging, cardiology, and other ancillary health professions. None of these opportunities directly procure fluoroscopy procedures or low-osmolar contrast agents—the transactions are instead for imaging infrastructure, clinical personnel staffing, and professional services delivery.

Recent activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County), with issuing bodies spanning county health systems and school districts rather than traditional procurement of diagnostic imaging supplies or equipment. The code's assignment to these health system and education procurement actions suggests a possible data-entry mismatch rather than aligned procurement practice under the fluoroscopy commodity classification. State and local buyers soliciting actual diagnostic imaging procedure volume, imaging supplies, or clinical consumables may use different UNSPSC coding; the current opportunities under this code do not support business development pursuit based on direct scope alignment.
