UNSPSC 85872191: Plain radiography of left upper extremity arteries

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left upper extremity arteries. 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 B30JZZZ

UNSPSC 85872191 Plain radiography of left upper extremity arteries is a Commodity code whose recent state and local posting activity bears little relationship to the code's nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code solicited a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for enterprise radiology and cardiology imaging at San Mateo Medical Center, ultrasound equipment and licensing from Collier County, Florida, and phlebotomy blood draw services for the Albuquerque Police Department. None of these represent plain radiography of a specific anatomical region; instead, the code appears to be assigned broadly to diagnostic imaging and clinical laboratory services without precision to the radiographic modality or body part specified in the code name. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems (San Mateo County), county procurement offices managing health system contracts (Collier County), and municipal police departments (City of Albuquerque). The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed with no clear concentration in a single state or region.

The most recent and largest opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS, posted July 9, 2026, with proposals due August 7, 2026, supporting 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually and requiring EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, 99.9% system uptime, and nine- to twelve-month implementation within a five-year agreement term. Collier County issued a Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous, Inc. ultrasound equipment and a five-year product warranty, posted April 1, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 26, 2026, for parties wishing to contest the single-source designation. The Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technicians on January 26, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026, anticipating approximately 300 calls annually across Bernalillo County with twenty-four-hour, 365-day coverage and one-hour response times. The mismatch between the code's specific radiographic scope and the actual work being solicited—which spans PACS infrastructure, ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services—suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all for diagnostic imaging and clinical laboratory procurement.
