UNSPSC 85873703: Plain radiography of bilateral lower extremity veins using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of bilateral lower extremity veins 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 B50D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85873703 Plain radiography of bilateral lower extremity veins using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows limited direct relevance to the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The three opportunities posted between July and October 2026 span diagnostic imaging infrastructure, special education staffing, and temporary health professional placement — none of which directly procure the specific radiographic service named in the code. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (Solicitation 660002526251, due October 21, 2026) encompasses picture archiving and communication systems supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with 65,000 radiology studies annually, but this is software and infrastructure procurement rather than the plain radiography procedure itself. The other two opportunities — Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services RFP and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle — fall outside the code's nominal scope entirely.

The mismatch between the code's specific name and the actual solicitations suggests that state and local procurement offices may be tagging opportunities with this code in error or using it as a broad catch-all for diagnostic imaging-related work rather than for the procurement of plain radiography services with high osmolar contrast. Recent activity appears in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but the geographic spread and issuing-body patterns do not reflect a genuine market for the service described in the code name. No evidence of recent direct procurement for plain radiography of bilateral lower extremity veins with high osmolar contrast appears in the source.
