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 B444ZZZ

UNSPSC 85872717 Ultrasonography of superior mesenteric artery is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect diagnostic ultrasonography procurement. Instead, the opportunities show solicitations for enterprise PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation, special education contracted services including speech and occupational therapy, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories — none of which align with the ultrasonography service scope the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the posting systems or that the code is being applied to capture related diagnostic imaging and clinical staffing work more broadly than the code name indicates.

The recent opportunities originate from three issuing bodies: San Mateo County's public health system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district in Texas (Birdville ISD), and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California. Geographic activity is concentrated in California and Texas. The San Mateo County PACS solicitation (RFP, due October 21, 2026) seeks enterprise-grade imaging system implementation with EPIC EHR integration to support 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations; Birdville ISD's solicitation (competitive sealed proposal, due October 21, 2026) covers special education contracted services across 23 line items including therapies and diagnostics; and Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle (RFQ, due October 7, 2026) establishes a vendor pool for temporary staffing in ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology, audiology, and therapy services. The code shows little direct activity in ultrasonography procurement specifically.
