This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of right vertebral 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 B31D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85872028 Fluoroscopy of right vertebral artery using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments actually solicit under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with fluoroscopy imaging procedures; instead, they span diagnostic imaging technology systems (PACS platforms), special education contracted services (speech therapy, occupational therapy, and related support), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical ancillary roles. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests this code receives misclassification in state and local purchasing systems or that its usage has drifted substantially from its original intent. State and local issuing bodies including county health systems, independent school districts, and public hospitals use this code to tag work ranging from enterprise imaging infrastructure to individual clinical service contracts.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography with 9–12 month implementation and five-year contract term; Birdville Independent School District in northeast Texas posted competitive sealed proposals on September 18, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services across 23 line items including audiologist, speech language therapist, occupational therapist, and physical therapist roles; and Santa Clara County Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Audiology, Therapy Services, and 11 other ancillary clinical categories. The code shows limited coherence as a procurement signal — vendors pursuing work under it should verify the actual service scope in each solicitation rather than rely on the code name alone.
