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 B44HZZ3

UNSPSC 85872102 Ultrasonography of bilateral lower extremity arteries, intravascular (Commodity) shows a disconnect between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name describes a specific diagnostic ultrasound procedure, yet the three most recent opportunities posted under it involve enterprise imaging systems, special education staffing, and health professional temporary staffing — none of which concern ultrasound services or vascular imaging directly. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is being applied to broader health system contracting that does not align with its intended scope.

The recent opportunities span three different issuing bodies across different service categories: San Mateo Medical Center (a public hospital system in California) solicited a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation with an RFP due October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District in Texas sought special education contracted services including audiologists and therapists via competitive sealed proposal due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System in California established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology with a qualification deadline of October 7, 2026. These opportunities do not substantiate active state and local demand for the ultrasound service described in the code itself.
