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 B316ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871864 Fluoroscopy of right internal carotid artery is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific diagnostic imaging procedure — does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The three recent opportunities show no direct connection to fluoroscopy services. San Mateo Medical Center is procuring a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for enterprise-wide diagnostic imaging storage and retrieval; Birdville Independent School District is soliciting special education contracted services including audiologists, diagnosticians, and speech-language therapists; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. None of these opportunities involves the procurement or delivery of fluoroscopy of the right internal carotid artery as a clinical service line.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this Commodity code is not actively used for state and local contracting in the jurisdictions reflected in current opportunities. Vendors pursuing state and local procurement under diagnostic imaging, health professional staffing, or clinical equipment categories should verify the correct UNSPSC coding before responding to opportunities, as this code does not reflect the actual buying patterns of California or Texas health systems and school districts in the current market.
