UNSPSC 85873855: Plain radiography of left upper extremity veins using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left upper extremity veins using other 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 B50NYZZ

UNSPSC 85873855 Plain radiography of left upper extremity veins using other contrast is a Commodity code that captures diagnostic imaging equipment, systems, and services procured by state and local health authorities. Recent solicitations under this code reflect a mismatch between the nominal scope—specific radiographic procedures—and the actual work being bought: state and local health systems are acquiring enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) platforms, ultrasound equipment, and clinical laboratory services rather than radiographic contrast media or procedure-specific supplies. The issuing bodies are public health systems and law enforcement agencies, including San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated hospital and clinic network), Collier County in Florida, and the Albuquerque Police Department. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned to its stated scope; the three documented opportunities address PACS system implementation, portable ultrasound platforms, and phlebotomy services—none of which directly relate to left upper extremity vein radiography.

San Mateo County's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (Solicitation 660002526251, due August 7, 2026) is the only opportunity closely tied to diagnostic imaging infrastructure, seeking an enterprise solution supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration and migration of legacy imaging data. Collier County's Notice of Intent to Single Source (Solicitation PUR16842, posted April 1, 2026) for EchoNous ultrasound equipment and the Albuquerque Police Department's Request for Bids for on-call phlebotomy services (RFB-2025-748-POL-DZ, due February 25, 2026) represent the remaining recent opportunities, neither of which aligns to the code's stated radiographic scope. The geographic footprint spans California, Florida, and New Mexico, but activity is sparse. This code appears to have limited relevance to current state and local procurement demand; prospective vendors should verify code alignment with customer procurement systems before pursuing opportunities tagged under this number.
