UNSPSC 85871879: Fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery using other 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 B314YZZ

UNSPSC 85871879 Fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery using other contrast is a Commodity code that carries significant disconnect from recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging system procurement (San Mateo County Medical Center's PACS implementation), school district special education staffing (Birdville Independent School District), and county health system temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations directly concern the specific medical procedure named in the code—fluoroscopic imaging of the left common carotid artery. The code appears to misclassify routine healthcare operational needs, including information technology infrastructure, contracted professional services, and temporary staffing, rather than capturing state or local purchasing patterns for a particular diagnostic imaging service line.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), though this geographic dispersal reflects how loosely the code is being applied rather than genuine demand concentration. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due October 21, 2026) seeks an enterprise PACS system supporting approximately 78,000 annual studies across radiology, cardiology, and mammography; Birdville ISD's RFQ (also due October 21, 2026) addresses special education contracted services unrelated to imaging; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQ (due October 7, 2026) establishes a vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing including diagnostic imaging and radiology positions on an as-needed basis. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope of a specific fluoroscopic procedure.
