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 B31JZZZ

UNSPSC 85872173 Fluoroscopy of left upper extremity arteries is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The three most recent solicitations posted under or near this code span diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities directly procure fluoroscopy procedures or services for left upper extremity arterial imaging. The mismatch suggests the code may be applied in state and local databases to capture ancillary imaging and clinical staffing needs rather than the specific procedural service the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies are a county hospital system, a suburban school district, and a county health system — representing the fragmented landscape of state and local procurement across health-system and education verticals. Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due October 21, 2026) seeks enterprise PACS implementation with EPIC integration to handle 65,000 annual radiology studies plus cardiology and mammography volumes, with a five-year term and evaluation weighting 30 points to project approach, 25 to firm qualifications, 20 to team qualifications, and 25 to price. The Santa Clara Health System RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishes a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in thirteen health professional categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, with no guaranteed work volume. Neither opportunity directly procures fluoroscopy as a discrete clinical service line.
