UNSPSC 85874005: Plain radiography of other veins using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of other 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 B50V1ZZ

UNSPSC 85874005 Plain radiography of other veins using low osmolar contrast, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific radiological imaging procedure using contrast media—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in public records. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (a Picture Archiving and Communication System implementation), school district special education contracted services, and health system temporary staffing services for ancillary clinical roles. None of these solicitations directly procure plain radiography procedures or contrast agents; the mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source database or drift in how jurisdictions apply this code. State and local issuers placing work under this code include county health systems (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and school districts (Birdville Independent School District in Texas).

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) posted an RFP on October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026, for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, requiring HIPAA compliance and a five-year agreement term. Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFSQ on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services, with no guaranteed work and a five-year qualification window. The code shows little recent relevant activity in concrete radiography procedure procurement or contrast-media supply; work actually being solicited leans toward imaging infrastructure, staffing services, and special education support rather than the diagnostic imaging services the code nominally describes.
