UNSPSC 85872146: Plain radiography of left lower extremity arteries using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left lower extremity arteries using low 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 B40G1ZZ

UNSPSC 85872146 Plain radiography of left lower extremity arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara Health System). Only the San Mateo opportunity directly relates to diagnostic imaging; the BISD and Santa Clara solicitations appear tagged to this code in error, as they concern educational and temporary clinical staffing rather than radiography procedures or contrast agents.

San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP (due October 21, 2026) for a diagnostic imaging PACS with enterprise-grade radiology, cardiology, and dental capabilities, requiring EPIC integration and support for approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually. Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with no guaranteed work and a five-year qualification window. The code shows activity concentrated in California, with opportunities from San Mateo County and Santa Clara County health systems. The mismatch between the code's radiography-specific name and the actual procurement activity—dominated by PACS infrastructure and staffing rather than plain radiography procedures or contrast media—suggests this code receives inconsistent application in state and local taxonomy assignment.
