UNSPSC 85873616: Fluoroscopy of right subclavian vein, guidance

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of right subclavian vein, guidancefluoroscopy of right subclavian vein, guidance. 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 B516ZZA

UNSPSC 85873616 Fluoroscopy of right subclavian vein, guidance is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific radiological procedure, but the three recent opportunities posted under it—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing—do not center on fluoroscopy services or subclavian vein imaging. The PACS opportunity from San Mateo Medical Center represents enterprise-grade radiology infrastructure supporting cardiology and mammography alongside radiology; the other two solicitations have no connection to imaging or vein-access procedures. This pattern suggests the code may be misapplied in the underlying data or that state and local procurement systems are tagging opportunities with codes that do not match their actual scope.

Recent activity spans California (San Mateo County Medical Center) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District) with a multi-county health system in Santa Clara County, but the concentration reflects general health-system staffing and imaging infrastructure needs rather than fluoroscopy-specific procurement. The San Mateo PACS RFP, due October 21, 2026, requires EPIC integration and migration from legacy systems; the Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing RFQ, due October 7, 2026, creates a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and cardiology. Neither opportunity explicitly addresses fluoroscopic guidance for subclavian access. Vendors pursuing imaging or clinical staffing opportunities should verify actual UNSPSC alignment at the solicitation stage rather than rely on this code's nominal description.
