UNSPSC 85872914: Plain radiography of lumbar arteries using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of lumbar 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 B4091ZZ

UNSPSC 85872914 Plain radiography of lumbar arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code name describes a specific radiological procedure — arterial imaging with contrast medium — but recent opportunities tagged under this code do not procure that service. Instead, the three most recent postings span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), school-based special education contracting (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara Health System), none of which represent plain radiography services or lumbar arterial studies. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is not actively used for state and local procurement of the specific radiological procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic spread across recent activity includes California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), though the opportunities themselves do not reflect purchasing patterns in radiography services. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP for a diagnostic imaging PACS with a due date of October 21, 2026, requiring enterprise-grade system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration and 99.9% uptime; Birdville Independent School District issued competitive sealed proposals for special education contracted services (due October 21, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System issued proposals to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including diagnostic imaging/radiology categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual procurement of plain radiography procedures or contrast-based arterial imaging studies.
