UNSPSC 85871932: Plain radiography of left common carotid artery using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left common carotid artery using high 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 B3040ZZ

UNSPSC 85871932 Plain radiography of left common carotid artery using high osmolar contrast, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific technical framing — radiographic imaging of a single vascular site using a defined contrast medium — does not align with the opportunities posted under it. State and local governments buying under this code are instead soliciting enterprise diagnostic imaging systems, temporary staffing for multiple clinical specialties including radiology and imaging technicians, and specialized education and health professional services. The issuing bodies span county health systems, independent school districts, and municipal public hospital networks. None of the recent opportunities target the discrete procedure or imaging modality the code nominally describes.

San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) in San Mateo County, California, posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 (proposals due October 21, 2026) for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system supporting enterprise-grade radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, requiring migration from a legacy ScImage platform and implementation within 9–12 months; Santa Clara County Health System in California posted a qualification solicitation on July 7, 2026 (proposals due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services, with no guaranteed work volume; and Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas, posted an RFP on September 18, 2026 (proposals due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services spanning 23 line items including support services at 30 campuses. Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The code appears to reflect a legacy or over-specified commodity classification that does not drive meaningful procurement patterns at the state and local level.
