UNSPSC 85872926: Plain radiography of inferior mesenteric artery using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of inferior mesenteric artery 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 B4051ZZ

UNSPSC 85872926 Plain radiography of inferior mesenteric artery using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal alignment with that procedure name. The recent opportunities posted under this code span health system infrastructure, special education services, and temporary clinical staffing — work substantially unrelated to inferior mesenteric artery radiography. San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system focuses on enterprise-level picture archiving, data migration from legacy systems, and multi-specialty imaging support; Birdville Independent School District's October 2026 RFP solicits special education contracted services including audiology, speech therapy, and psychological evaluation; and Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 RFQ establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across diagnostic imaging, cardiology, therapy, and other ancillary clinical roles. None of these opportunities involve inferior mesenteric artery radiography or the low-osmolar contrast protocols the code nominally describes.

The code shows activity across California and Texas issuing bodies — San Mateo County and Santa Clara County in California, and Birdville ISD in northeast Texas — but the work being bought under this code does not match its stated scope. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS opportunity (RFP due October 21, 2026) requires EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, and migration of approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies; Santa Clara Health System's staffing RFQ (due October 7, 2026) is a five-year multiple-award pool for temporary diagnostic imaging and other clinical professionals; and Birdville ISD's special education RFP (due October 21, 2026) covers 23 line items of contracted services unrelated to any imaging modality. This code presents a classification mismatch — the UNSPSC category name does not reflect the diverse health system and educational services actually being procured. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the underlying work scope in each solicitation, as tagging accuracy appears inconsistent with the code's nominal definition.
