This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of lumbar arteries using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperativefluoroscopy of lumbar arteries using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative. 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 B419110

UNSPSC 85872826 Fluoroscopy of lumbar arteries using low osmolar contrast, laser intraoperative is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement from San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services solicitation from Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle from Santa Clara County Health System—are plainly unrelated to the specific clinical procedure named in the code. The San Mateo Medical Center solicitation addresses enterprise picture archiving and communication systems for radiology, cardiology, and mammography imaging; the Birdville ISD solicitation covers school-based special education services including audiology, speech therapy, and behavior analysis; and the Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle establishes a vendor pool for temporary staffing across ancillary health professions including diagnostic imaging/radiology, audiology, and therapy services. None of these opportunities solicits the fluoroscopy procedure itself or the related equipment and supplies the code nominally describes.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The issuing bodies span a county public hospital system (San Mateo), a school district (Birdville ISD in Tarrant County, Texas), and another county health system (Santa Clara County), representing geographically dispersed public health and education entities. However, the mismatch between the code's procedural focus and the actual procurement posted suggests either a UNSPSC coding error in how these opportunities were tagged, or that the code itself does not capture how state and local governments currently structure and solicit this class of services. Business development professionals should verify the accurate code classification through the issuing bodies' scope documents before pursuing opportunities under this designation.
