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 B30DZZZ

UNSPSC 85872038 Plain radiography of right vertebral artery is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, shows minimal relevance to the code's nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) solicitation from San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services procurement from Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle from the County of Santa Clara Health System. None of these opportunities align with plain radiography of a specific anatomical structure; instead, they reflect broader health system infrastructure, education services, and temporary staffing. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement records or a significant misalignment between the code's intended commodity scope and the work actually being bought under it.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with issuing bodies spanning a county health system, a county-operated public hospital, and an independent school district. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for PACS, due October 21, 2026, is the only solicitation with direct relevance to diagnostic imaging; it seeks enterprise-grade system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, handling approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually. The County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle, due October 7, 2026, includes Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology as one of thirteen eligible ancillary health professional staffing categories but does not specify radiography services. The Birdville ISD special education procurement bears no relationship to radiography or medical imaging. This code shows limited recent procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.
