UNSPSC 85873701: Plain radiography of bilateral lower extremity veins using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of bilateral lower extremity veins 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 B50DYZZ

UNSPSC 85873701 Plain radiography of bilateral lower extremity veins using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific radiological diagnostic procedure, but the three most recent opportunities posted under or near this classification do not solicit radiography services themselves. Instead, they reflect broader health system procurement spanning diagnostic imaging infrastructure, special education clinical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which target the narrow procedure this code nominally identifies. The issuing bodies include a county public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a school district (Birdville Independent School District), and a county health system (Santa Clara Health System), representing both hospital and educational procurement channels.

Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County). The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026) solicits an enterprise-grade Diagnostic Imaging PACS system supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration — a systems-level procurement that encompasses but is not limited to plain radiography. The Santa Clara Health System RFQ (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services, but does not solicit radiography procedures directly. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity tied to the specific bilateral lower extremity vein radiography procedure it nominally describes.
