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 B54NZZZ

UNSPSC 85873813 Ultrasonography of left upper extremity veins is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic ultrasound procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect direct purchases of that service. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for enterprise diagnostic imaging systems, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which map clearly to vascular ultrasound of the left arm. The mismatch between the code's narrow technical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code inconsistently or that the opportunities tagged to it reflect broader health system service categories rather than the discrete procedure the code names.

The three recent opportunities posted between July and October 2026 span different issuing bodies and geographies: San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) posted an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system with a due date of October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District (Tarrant County, Texas) posted a competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) posted an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with a due date of October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations explicitly targets ultrasonography services or vascular imaging. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its commodity definition.
