UNSPSC 85873811: Ultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity veins, guidance

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity veins, guidanceultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity veins, 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 B54PZZA

UNSPSC 85873811 Ultrasonography of bilateral upper extremity veins, guidance is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific diagnostic ultrasound procedure—does not match the three opportunities posted under it. The most substantial recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) posted October 7, 2026 with a due date of October 21, 2026, which is a system-wide enterprise technology implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across approximately 78,000 annual studies. The second opportunity, Birdville Independent School District's competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services (due October 21, 2026), involves audiologists, speech language therapists, and other allied health professionals on an as-needed basis across 30 school campuses. The third, Santa Clara County Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026), establishes a non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and respiratory care. These three solicitations span health system PACS technology, school district clinical services, and health system temporary staffing—none of which constitutes ultrasonography procurement per se.

The issuing bodies include a county public hospital system, an independent school district, and a county health system, suggesting the code may be misapplied to health services categories more broadly rather than to the specific ultrasound procedure named. Recent activity appears in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but the geographic spread is too narrow to characterize as meaningful regional concentration. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms specializing in diagnostic ultrasound services or related medical devices; the opportunities posted under it represent broader health information systems, educational staffing, and clinical temp-labor procurement rather than ultrasonography-specific products or services.
