UNSPSC 85873270: Plain radiography of bilateral renal veins using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of bilateral renal 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 B50L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85873270, Plain radiography of bilateral renal veins using high osmolar contrast, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The three most recent solicitations tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems architecture and health professional staffing services, not plain radiography procedures or contrast agents. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) is procuring an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing; and Birdville Independent School District is soliciting special education contracted services unrelated to medical imaging. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the work actually being bought suggests either data-entry error in the source system or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for imaging-adjacent services rather than narrowly for the radiographic procedure itself.

Activity under this code is sparse and geographically dispersed across California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County). The issuing bodies span a county health system, a county hospital operator, and a school district, with no clear repeat pattern. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due October 21, 2026) seeks PACS implementation with 9–12 month deployment and five-year agreement terms; Santa Clara County's RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishes an as-needed staffing pool with five-year vehicle term and no guaranteed volume. Neither opportunity is directly relevant to vendors offering plain radiography services or contrast media, and the code shows no recent activity substantively aligned with its stated scope.
