UNSPSC 85872178: Fluoroscopy of left upper extremity arteries using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left 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 B31J0ZZ

UNSPSC 85872178 Fluoroscopy of left upper extremity arteries using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity among state and local buyers. The three opportunities posted since January 2026 — a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation (San Mateo County), ultrasound equipment procurement (Collier County, Florida), and phlebotomy blood draw services (Albuquerque Police Department) — are tagged under this code but do not align with its nominal scope of fluoroscopic imaging procedures using high osmolar contrast. The PACS and ultrasound solicitations concern imaging system infrastructure and equipment, while the phlebotomy RFB addresses laboratory specimen collection; none involve fluoroscopy of arterial systems. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code inconsistently or misclassify opportunities that touch on diagnostic imaging or clinical services more broadly.

The geographic spread of the three misaligned opportunities spans California, Florida, and New Mexico, with issuing bodies drawn from county health systems, county procurement offices, and municipal police departments. No standout repeat buyer pattern emerges. Because the code shows no recent state and local opportunities that actually match fluoroscopic arterial imaging services — a specialized clinical procedure typically ordered at hospital radiology departments rather than procured as a commodity good or systems contract — activity under this code does not currently merit pursuit. The mismatch between the code's technical specification and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding in state procurement databases or an absence of state and local fluoroscopy-related solicitations during the recent window.
