UNSPSC 85871919: Plain radiography of left internal carotid artery using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography 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 B3071ZZ

UNSPSC 85871919 Plain radiography of left internal carotid artery using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code for which state and local governments show minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara County Health System—are substantially misaligned with the code's specific clinical imaging procedure descriptor. The San Mateo opportunity is closest to radiology-adjacent work, requesting proposals for enterprise Picture Archiving and Communication System implementation to support approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, but it procures PACS software, data migration, and implementation services rather than individual plain radiography procedures themselves. The Birdville and Santa Clara postings involve special education staffing and general temporary health professional services pools, respectively, and bear no practical connection to carotid artery plain radiography.

The issuing bodies span a county health system operator (San Mateo County), a school district (Birdville ISD), and another county health system (Santa Clara County), with recent posting dates between July and October 2026. Geographic spread includes California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County). The code appears to reflect a highly granular clinical procedure taxonomy that does not align well with actual state and local procurement structures, which typically aggregate diagnostic imaging, health professional staffing, and clinical services at the service-family or class level rather than at individual procedure codes. No opportunities in the recent sample directly solicit plain radiography procedures or related supplies; if carotid artery imaging work is being procured by state and local bodies, it is likely categorized and solicited under broader diagnostic imaging, radiology services, or health system contracts rather than under this Commodity code.
