UNSPSC 85873262: Fluoroscopy of epidural veins using low osmolar contrast, guidance

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of epidural veins using low osmolar contrast, guidancefluoroscopy of epidural veins using low osmolar contrast, guidance. 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 B5101ZA

UNSPSC 85873262 Fluoroscopy of epidural veins using low osmolar contrast, guidance is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific interventional radiology procedure, but state and local governments show little activity directly matching this clinical service line. The recent opportunities posted under this code reveal a material mismatch between the code's narrow procedural scope and the actual work being solicited. San Mateo Medical Center is requesting proposals for an enterprise-grade Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging — a capital IT implementation for image storage, retrieval, and integration with Epic EHR rather than the provision of fluoroscopy services themselves. Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services solicitation and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vehicle are similarly unrelated to epidural vein imaging. The code shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope of fluoroscopy guidance services.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the posted opportunities suggests either tagging error at the issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local health procurement patterns. Interested vendors should verify code assignment in the RFP or RFQ directly before committing resources to proposal development. If pursuing opportunities in diagnostic imaging, PACS systems, or healthcare IT infrastructure, cross-check against broader Family or Class codes covering medical information systems, imaging equipment procurement, or healthcare technology services rather than relying on this specific Commodity designation.
