UNSPSC 85872171: Fluoroscopy of bilateral upper extremity arteries using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of bilateral upper extremity arteries 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 B31K0ZZ

UNSPSC 85872171 Fluoroscopy of bilateral upper extremity arteries using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code whose nominal scope bears little relation to the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code do not procure fluoroscopy imaging services or contrast agents; instead, they cover diagnostic imaging infrastructure (a PACS system), special education staffing, and temporary health professional staffing placement. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope of fluoroscopy procedures or imaging supplies.

San Mateo Medical Center, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and Birdville Independent School District have posted opportunities in the 2026 window, but none solicit the radiologic procedure or consumable product this code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's technical name and the actual procurement activity suggests this code is either misapplied to these opportunities or the solicitations reflect upstream procurement for clinical infrastructure rather than direct imaging services. Practitioners pursuing state and local work in fluoroscopy procedures, high-osmolar contrast media, or related diagnostic imaging consumables should not rely on this code's recent activity as a signal of market demand.
