UNSPSC 85872170: Fluoroscopy of bilateral upper extremity arteries using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of bilateral upper extremity arteries using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperativefluoroscopy of bilateral upper extremity arteries using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative. 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 B31K110

UNSPSC 85872170 Fluoroscopy of bilateral upper extremity arteries using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code cover diagnostic imaging systems architecture (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations request fluoroscopy services, contrast media, or intraoperative imaging procedures; the code's nominal scope—a specific clinical imaging modality—bears no meaningful relationship to the work actually being bought. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is used as a catch-all placeholder for health-system procurement that lacks more precise classification.

The recent opportunities do show health system procurement across multiple California and Texas jurisdictions, but they represent system infrastructure, staffing augmentation, and education support services rather than the diagnostic imaging procedure the code purports to describe. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for PACS (due October 21, 2026) is seeking enterprise-grade imaging management and archival; Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) includes a Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology category but as one of thirteen service lines for qualified-vendor-pool establishment; Birdville ISD's competitive sealed proposal for special education services (due October 21, 2026) contains no clinical imaging component. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as low-signal for fluoroscopy or contrast-based imaging services and verify the applicable codes for actual diagnostic imaging equipment, system integration, or clinical staffing opportunities.
