UNSPSC 85872041: Plain radiography of right vertebral artery using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography 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 B30D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85872041 Plain radiography of right vertebral artery using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The nominal scope — a specific radiographic imaging procedure — does not match the work actually being solicited under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity include a diagnostic imaging system implementation, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which directly involve vertebral artery radiography or the narrow clinical procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to these solicitations or that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code to tag broader diagnostic imaging or clinical staffing services that fall outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include a county public health system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville Independent School District in Tarrant County, Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System in California). The geographic spread spans California and Texas. The most concrete relevant opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation (Solicitation 660002526251, due October 21, 2026), which involves enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication systems supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration — a systems procurement rather than a clinical imaging procedure. Without additional opportunities explicitly tied to vertebral artery radiography or similar specific imaging procedures, this code shows little current state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal commodity definition.
