UNSPSC 85873857: Plain radiography of left upper extremity veins using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left upper extremity veins using high 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 B50N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85873857 Plain radiography of left upper extremity veins using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (a PACS platform implementation), school-based special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories — none of which directly concern plain radiography procedures or contrast media procurement. The code's narrow, procedure-specific scope does not map to the equipment, staffing, and system-implementation work actually being solicited by the public bodies in the available records.

The geographic distribution and issuing-body mix reflected in recent postings span California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County health systems) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District), representing county-level health authorities and a school district. No pattern of repeat activity under this code emerges from the recent opportunities block. The single opportunity closest to imaging services — San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (solicitation 660002526251, due October 21, 2026) — addresses enterprise platform procurement and system migration rather than the specific imaging procedure or consumable that the code nominally describes. Unless state and local procurement offices have begun using this code to tag broader diagnostic imaging procurements, activity under UNSPSC 85873857 at the state and local level appears dormant or misclassified in the available records.
