UNSPSC 85872245: Plain radiography of intercostal and bronchial arteries using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of intercostal and bronchial arteries using other 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 B30LYZZ

UNSPSC 85872245 Plain radiography of intercostal and bronchial arteries using other contrast is a Commodity code with minimal direct alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The nominal scope—specialized vascular imaging procedures—does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in current opportunities.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect three distinct health-sector procurements with no meaningful connection to the radiography or vascular imaging the code nominally describes. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), a county public hospital system in California, posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) with proposals due October 21, 2026—a software and systems implementation effort supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging workflow, not radiographic procedures themselves. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas, posted a competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services (audiology, diagnostician, dyslexia evaluator, speech language therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and similar roles), due October 21, 2026—entirely outside imaging or vascular work. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services posted July 7, 2026 with a proposal deadline of October 7, 2026, encompassing audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging/radiology, gastroenterology, and other ancillary categories as non-exclusive staffing positions, not radiographic imaging or procedure codes. The code shows no recent procurement activity reflective of its stated scope. The mismatch between the UNSPSC commodity definition and the current opportunities tagged to it suggests either data-entry error in the classification or obsolete code assignment; practitioners should verify the correct commodity code for vascular imaging procedures before pursuing work under this classification.
