UNSPSC 85871935: Plain radiography of right common carotid artery using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of right 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 B3031ZZ

UNSPSC 85871935 Plain radiography of right common carotid artery using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code with minimal direct alignment to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure — radiography of a carotid artery using a particular contrast medium — yet the three recent opportunities solicited under this code span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (PACS implementation), school district special education contracted services, and multi-category temporary health professional staffing, none of which directly procure plain radiography services or low osmolar contrast media. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in these jurisdictions' classification systems or that state and local procurement offices are using it as a catch-all for imaging-related and health services activity.

Geographic activity under the code in recent postings is limited to California and Texas: San Mateo County (California) posted a diagnostic imaging PACS solicitation due October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas posted a special education contracted services RFP due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System in California solicited temporary health professional staffing (including diagnostic imaging/radiology categories) with a proposal deadline of October 7, 2026. No issuing bodies have posted recent opportunities explicitly procuring radiography procedures or contrast media under this code. State and local procurement professionals tracking this Commodity code should treat it as currently inactive for its nominal scope.
