UNSPSC 85873267: Plain radiography of portal and splanchnic veins using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of portal and splanchnic veins using high 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 B50T0ZZ

UNSPSC 85873267 Plain radiography of portal and splanchnic veins using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to the specific imaging modality it names: San Mateo Medical Center is procuring an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with EPIC integration and advanced visualization capabilities; Birdville Independent School District is seeking special education contracted services including audiologists, diagnosticians, and therapists; and Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology services. None of these solicitations target plain radiography using high osmolar contrast agents, suggesting the code has been misapplied to broader healthcare procurement or is rarely used for state and local buying activity aligned with its specific scope.

The issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo), a public school district (Birdville Independent School District in Texas), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County), with recent solicitations concentrated in California and Texas. The geographic spread and the apparent tagging mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual services being bought indicate this code sees little relevant recent activity for vendors offering plain radiography services or high osmolar contrast agents. State and local governments appear to be procuring diagnostic imaging services, staffing, and related clinical support through broader healthcare procurement mechanisms rather than through this specific imaging-modality commodity code.
