UNSPSC 85871878: Fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery. 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 B314ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871878 Fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity does not align with its nominal scope. The code surfaces in a diagnostic imaging infrastructure procurement by San Mateo Medical Center—an RFP for a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) platform supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations—but this solicitation centers on enterprise software implementation, data migration, and system integration rather than fluoroscopy procedure imaging itself. Two other recent opportunities tagged to this code address special education contracted services and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties, neither of which relates to fluoroscopy imaging. The issuing bodies include a county-operated medical center, a school district, and a county health system, representing a mix typical of broader state and local health and education procurement but not coherent around the code's specified service. Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties) and Texas (Birdville ISD in northeast Tarrant County), with all three opportunities posted between July and October 2026.

The code shows minimal relevant activity. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS procurement (RFP, response due October 21, 2026) is the only opportunity that touches diagnostic imaging infrastructure, though it addresses system architecture and vendor qualifications rather than fluoroscopy imaging as a clinical service line. The misalignment between the code's name and the actual purchasing patterns suggests either a tagging error in the state and local opportunity database or that fluoroscopy imaging itself does not generate standalone procurement volume in recent state and local contracting. Business development professionals should verify whether fluoroscopy appears under a different UNSPSC code in active state and local solicitations before committing resources to this code's activity.
