UNSPSC 85873264: Fluoroscopy of epidural veins using high osmolar contrast, guidance

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of epidural veins using high osmolar contrast, guidancefluoroscopy of epidural veins using high 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 B5100ZA

UNSPSC 85873264 Fluoroscopy of epidural veins using high osmolar contrast, guidance is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's specific clinical procedure — fluoroscopic imaging of epidural veins with high-osmolar contrast — does not appear in any of the three recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The opportunities instead cover enterprise diagnostic imaging systems, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories, none of which map to the narrow radiological procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the opportunities or that fluoroscopy of epidural veins with high-osmolar contrast is rarely if ever procured as a standalone service line by state and local public bodies, which typically acquire imaging services through broader system contracts, facility operations agreements, or professional staffing arrangements rather than discrete procedural or contrast-agent purchases.

The recent opportunities that have been tagged to this code originate from San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California), Birdville Independent School District (northeast Tarrant County, Texas), and Santa Clara County Health System (California), spanning RFP, ITB, and multiple-award qualification mechanisms with response dates in October 2026. None of these solicitations target fluoroscopy services or high-osmolar contrast procurement; the tagging appears to be a categorical misclassification. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work needed against the code definition before committing resources to pursuit, as the recent opportunity stream does not demonstrate active demand for the service as named.
