UNSPSC 85873291: Plain radiography of superior vena cava using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of superior vena cava 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 B5080ZZ

UNSPSC 85873291 Plain radiography of superior vena cava using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code's specificity — a narrow radiologic procedure using a particular contrast agent — does not match the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local buyers. Recent opportunities under this code include a diagnostic imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation, special education contracted services spanning multiple disciplines unrelated to radiology, and a temporary health professional staffing vehicle covering ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the breadth of the posted opportunities suggests tagging inconsistency rather than genuine procurement activity in plain radiography of the superior vena cava.

The single genuinely relevant opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Solicitation 660002526251, due October 21, 2026), which supports enterprise-grade imaging infrastructure serving approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with migration from a legacy ScImage system and integration with EPIC Electronic Health Record. Beyond this, the code shows no clear recent state and local activity for the specific procedure named in the UNSPSC title. The other two opportunities — Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool — are unrelated to radiography and appear to be miscoded. Until recent opportunities demonstrate consistent, direct procurement of plain radiography services or contrast-based imaging procedures, this code warrants careful verification before pursuit.
