UNSPSC 85872020: Fluoroscopy of left vertebral artery using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left vertebral artery using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperativefluoroscopy of left vertebral artery using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative. 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 B31F110

UNSPSC 85872020 Fluoroscopy of left vertebral artery using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the specific diagnostic imaging procedure the code names. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader health system procurement: diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), school district special education contracted services (Birdville ISD), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles (County of Santa Clara Health System). The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation is the only record clearly related to diagnostic imaging, requesting enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation to support 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with migration of existing data and advanced visualization capabilities. The other two opportunities—special education services and temporary health professional staffing—appear to carry this code designation without substantive connection to vertebral artery fluoroscopy or laser intraoperative procedures.

San Mateo County operates the PACS opportunity as a county health system, while County of Santa Clara Health System and Birdville Independent School District represent regional health and education issuing bodies in California and Texas. Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County). The San Mateo Medical Center RFP closed October 21, 2026, specifying EPIC integration, 99.9% system uptime, 2–5 second image load times, and nine to twelve month implementation within a five-year agreement term; evaluation criteria weighted technical approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a local preference of 5–10% available. The Santa Clara Health System RFQ, due October 7, 2026, established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen service categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with no guaranteed work volume and potential five-year maintenance of the qualified list. This code shows limited recent activity closely tied to its nominal scope, and business development strategy should prioritize the PACS opportunity as the nearest substantive match.
