UNSPSC 85873840: Fluoroscopy of left upper extremity veins using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left upper extremity veins using low 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 B51N1ZZ

UNSPSC 85873840 Fluoroscopy of left upper extremity veins using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code with minimal current relevance to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not match its nominal scope — they involve diagnostic imaging systems (PACS software and ultrasound equipment) and phlebotomy services, none of which represent fluoroscopic procedures or vascular imaging work as the code describes. State and local health systems, counties, and municipalities are procuring diagnostic platforms and clinical support services, but the specific fluoroscopy modality and contrast-media specification embedded in this code do not surface in recent solicitations.

The mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement activity signals that this Commodity code sees little direct state and local application at present. The few opportunities posted include San Mateo County's PACS implementation RFP (due August 7, 2026) and Collier County's single-source notice for ultrasound equipment (March 2026), neither of which involves fluoroscopy. Bidders evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for near-term pursuit and monitor whether health systems begin issuing standalone imaging-equipment or procedure-specific RFPs that map more precisely to vascular or interventional radiology codes at higher tiers.
