UNSPSC 85872010: Fluoroscopy of bilateral vertebral arteries using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of bilateral vertebral arteries 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 B31GYZZ

UNSPSC 85872010 Fluoroscopy of bilateral vertebral arteries using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure involving fluoroscopic examination of vertebral arteries, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve this procedure and instead cover enterprise-scale diagnostic imaging infrastructure, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing services — none of which constitute the targeted radiological procedure. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the scope of recent solicitations suggests that state and local procurement systems may be applying this code inconsistently or that it captures a broader class of diagnostic imaging and health professional services than the code name alone indicates. Current state and local buyers posting work under this code include San Mateo Medical Center, a county-operated acute-care hospital and clinic system; Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas; and Santa Clara County Health System.

Recent opportunities reflect institutional health-system procurement rather than procedure-specific ordering. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, with a five-year agreement term and migration of 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually. Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFQ on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, on a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification basis with no guaranteed work volume. Birdville Independent School District posted a separate competitive sealed proposal on September 18, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services, which appears unrelated to the code's clinical scope. Activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas, with recent posting dates clustered in the third and fourth quarters of 2026. The code's current use does not reliably signal procurement of the bilateral vertebral artery fluoroscopy procedure itself.
