UNSPSC 85873284: Plain radiography of right pelvic (iliac) veins using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of right pelvic (iliac) veins using low 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 B50F1ZZ

UNSPSC 85873284 Plain radiography of right pelvic (iliac) veins using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevance to the nominal radiography and contrast-media description. Instead, the code has been applied to three distinct procurement areas: enterprise picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) for diagnostic imaging infrastructure, special education contracted services including speech therapy and occupational therapy, and temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and therapy roles. The issuing bodies include county-operated health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, Santa Clara Health System), independent school districts (Birdville ISD in Texas), and county health authorities. The work being solicited ranges from multi-million-dollar health information technology implementations to hourly clinical staffing and educational support services, suggesting the code has been misapplied or overbroad in its recent state and local use.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026) issued an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system supporting enterprise-grade imaging with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime requirements, and nine- to twelve-month implementation across a five-year term. The County of Santa Clara Health System (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026) established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including diagnostic imaging and therapy services, with no guaranteed work and a five-year pool duration. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Texas (posted September 18, 2026, due October 21, 2026) solicited competitive sealed proposals for special education contracted services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language therapy, and related disciplines on an as-needed basis through November 30, 2027 with three optional renewal years. The code's application across these disparate procurement categories suggests either systematic miscoding or use as a catch-all tag for health services; the actual buying activity does not align with plain radiography of specific venous anatomy.
