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 B403YZZ

UNSPSC 85872931 Plain radiography of splenic arteries using other contrast (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve plain radiography, splenic imaging, or contrast procedures. Instead, state and local issuers are procuring diagnostic imaging infrastructure, staffing services, and health IT systems that support radiology departments more broadly. San Mateo Medical Center is soliciting an RFP for an enterprise-grade PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) with EPIC integration to replace a legacy platform and support approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually. Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology services. These procurement vehicles reflect investment in imaging platforms and workforce capacity rather than purchases of a specific diagnostic procedure or imaging modality.

The tagged opportunities originate from California health systems and a Texas school district, indicating no coherent geographic or sectoral pattern tied to the code's stated definition. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (Solicitation 660002526251, due October 21, 2026) requires PACS vendors to demonstrate prior EPIC integrations and public-sector experience, with proposals evaluated on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). The Santa Clara RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; placement on the Qualified List does not commit the Health System to contract awards. The Birdville Independent School District opportunity (Solicitation 01027, due October 21, 2026) solicits special education contracted services unrelated to imaging or radiology. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope; business development professionals should verify code classification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
