UNSPSC 85871881: Fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left common 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 B3141ZZ

UNSPSC 85871881 Fluoroscopy of left common carotid artery using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging systems, special education services, and health professional staffing — none of which match the narrow clinical procedure the code nominally describes. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation (due October 21, 2026), Birdville Independent School District in Texas solicited special education contracted services including audiologists and speech language therapists (due October 21, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involve fluoroscopy procedures, contrast agents, or vascular imaging services as the code's title suggests.

The mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement activity indicates either persistent miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code has limited use in state and local purchasing. Geographic activity in the limited pool spans California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but the represented work does not establish a coherent procurement pattern under the code's stated scope. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing bodies whether opportunities genuinely require fluoroscopy services or whether the code assignment reflects a data quality issue rather than meaningful procurement demand.
