UNSPSC 85872913: Plain radiography of lumbar arteries using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of lumbar 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 B409YZZ

UNSPSC 85872913 Plain radiography of lumbar arteries using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with radiographic services for lumbar artery imaging. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (a Picture Archiving and Communication System implementation), special education contracted services unrelated to medical imaging, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging roles. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or rarely used for its intended purpose in public-sector contracting.

San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), a county hospital system in California, posted an RFP on October 7, 2026, for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation with a response deadline of October 21, 2026, but this solicitation centers on enterprise software and system migration rather than radiographic services delivery. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a qualification vehicle on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, to establish a vendor pool for temporary diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing, which relates tangentially to imaging personnel rather than the specific radiographic procedure the code names. No recent opportunities explicitly procure lumbar artery radiography services or related imaging procedures directly. Without evidence of active solicitations aligned to the code's nominal scope across state and local jurisdictions, this code appears dormant for state and local procurement purposes.
