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 (Commodity), shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under it. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (a PACS platform), special education contracted services (audiologists, speech therapists, and related specialists), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories—none of which align with fluoroscopy procedures or contrast-media imaging. The code appears to be misapplied across heterogeneous health and education services, and does not reflect active state and local procurement of the specific diagnostic imaging procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include San Mateo Medical Center (a county health system in California), Birdville Independent School District (in northeast Tarrant County, Texas), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (in California). Geographic activity is concentrated in California and Texas. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026) and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026) represent the most recent opportunities, neither of which procure the fluoroscopy services the code nominally covers. This code does not signal actionable procurement activity for fluoroscopy or contrast-media imaging services at the state and local level.
