UNSPSC 85873289: Plain radiography of superior vena cava using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of superior vena cava using other 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 B508YZZ

UNSPSC 85873289 Plain radiography of superior vena cava using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect radiography services or vena cava imaging procedures. Instead, the issuing bodies—San Mateo County (a public hospital system), Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and Santa Clara County Health System in California—are soliciting diagnostic imaging infrastructure (PACS systems), special education contracted services (audiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. The code appears to be misapplied to these broader procurement vehicles; the actual work being bought encompasses information technology implementation, educational and behavioral health services, and clinical staffing pool qualification rather than a specific radiographic procedure or imaging service line.

Activity under this code occurs in California and Texas, though the sourcing does not indicate whether this Commodity code is routinely used for imaging-related procurements or whether these three postings represent an anomalous tagging pattern. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS on October 7, 2026, with proposals due October 21, 2026, requiring EPIC integration and support for 65,000 annual radiology studies. Santa Clara County Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026, to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including diagnostic imaging and radiology services. Given the mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the recent opportunities posted against it, firms should verify actual procurement intent through direct contact with issuing bodies rather than assume this code signals consistent demand for radiography or vena cava imaging procedures.
