UNSPSC 85872818: Fluoroscopy of other intra-abdominal arteries using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of other intra-abdominal arteries using low 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 B41B1ZZ

UNSPSC 85872818 Fluoroscopy of other intra-abdominal arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name refers to a specific diagnostic imaging procedure using contrast media, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that procedure—instead, they cover diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (PACS platforms), special education contracted services (audiologists, speech therapists, behavior analysts), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories including diagnostic imaging. The opportunities reflect actual purchasing behavior at the issuing bodies, but the code appears misapplied to the work being solicited.

Recent activity spans California and Texas health systems and school districts. San Mateo Medical Center (California) posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation on October 7, 2026, with proposals due October 21, 2026, covering enterprise radiology, cardiology, and mammography imaging systems supporting approximately 78,000 annual studies. The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) issued a request for qualifications for temporary health professional staffing on July 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool for diagnostic imaging and radiology positions among thirteen ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas, solicited special education contracted services (a category unrelated to fluoroscopy or diagnostic imaging) in September 2026 with a due date of October 21, 2026. The code shows limited relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope; firms considering pursuit should clarify with issuing bodies whether these tagging errors reflect systematic misclassification or isolated coding mistakes before committing resources.
