UNSPSC 85872175: Fluoroscopy of left upper extremity arteries using other contrast, laser intraoperative

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left upper extremity arteries using other contrast, laser intraoperativefluoroscopy of left upper extremity arteries using other 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 B31JY10

UNSPSC 85872175 Fluoroscopy of left upper extremity arteries using other contrast, laser intraoperative is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific description—a radiological procedure involving fluoroscopy of upper extremity arteries with contrast and laser—does not align with the three recent opportunities posted under it. San Mateo Medical Center is soliciting a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation to support enterprise-grade medical imaging infrastructure across radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, with 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations performed annually. Birdville Independent School District is requesting special education contracted services including audiologists, diagnosticians, dyslexia evaluators, and multiple therapeutic professions, which bears no relation to the code's fluoroscopy focus. Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging, audiology, cardiology, and therapy services—again, broader clinical staffing rather than a specific radiological procedure. The issuing bodies span a county hospital system, an independent school district, and a regional health authority, suggesting the code is being applied inconsistently or as a catch-all for healthcare-related procurements rather than for the specialized procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic spread includes California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). No other states appear in the recent activity. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's procedure-level specificity and the actual opportunities being tagged under it—which range from health IT infrastructure to special education staffing to clinical temporary staffing—the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors offering fluoroscopy or laser interventional services. A vendor in that specialty should verify whether any opportunities actually align with the code before investing in response preparation; the recent postings suggest either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a placeholder for broadly healthcare-related work.
