UNSPSC 85874002: Plain radiography of dialysis shunt/fistula using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of dialysis shunt/fistula 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 B50W1ZZ

UNSPSC 85874002 Plain radiography of dialysis shunt/fistula using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code name describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure using contrast media, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve institutional health system infrastructure, special education staffing, and temporary clinical workforce management — none of which involve dialysis shunt or fistula radiography or contrast media procurement.

The mismatch signals that this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Of the three opportunities posted between July and October 2026, one concerns a San Mateo County Medical Center PACS system migration and implementation (RFP, due October 21, 2026); another is Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services (RFQ, due October 21, 2026); and the third is Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFQ, due October 7, 2026). None directly procure radiography services, contrast media, or equipment for dialysis access imaging. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code inconsistently or as a catchall for health system clinical operations. Vendors targeting dialysis access diagnostic imaging services should verify code applicability through direct communication with procurement offices before submitting proposals, as posted opportunities under this code do not reflect the specific clinical service the code nominally describes.
