UNSPSC 85872152: Ultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity arteries, intravascular

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity arteries, intravascularultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity arteries, intravascular. 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 B34KZZ3

UNSPSC 85872152 Ultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity arteries, intravascular (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local health systems and counties are soliciting diagnostic imaging and clinical staffing services, but the recent opportunities do not target ultrasonography equipment or bilateral upper extremity vascular imaging specifically. The San Mateo County Medical Center RFP posted October 7, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) seeks a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) supporting enterprise radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration—a platform purchase rather than a procedure-specific ultrasound service or device. The County of Santa Clara Health System's July 7, 2026 RFQ establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, but does not isolate vascular ultrasonography. Birdville Independent School District's September 18, 2026 IFB for special education contracted services covers audiology, speech-language therapy, and occupational therapy—unrelated to the ultrasound code's scope.

The code appears misaligned with state and local procurement activity. Recent health system opportunities focus on imaging infrastructure, PACS systems, and generalist clinical staffing rather than specialized vascular ultrasound services or equipment procurement. Activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but no issuing body in the recent record has posted solicitations explicitly targeting ultrasonography services or related diagnostic vascular imaging capabilities. Practitioners should verify whether this code is being applied as a catch-all for diagnostic imaging services broadly or whether the actual procurement intent differs substantially from the code's specific clinical focus.
