UNSPSC 85874101: Ultrasonography of inferior vena cava

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of inferior vena cava. 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 B549ZZZ

UNSPSC 85874101 Ultrasonography of inferior vena cava is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with that scope. The three posted solicitations involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS implementation), special education contracted services (audiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and related specialists), and a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging/radiology, and therapy services. None of these opportunities solicit ultrasonography services or equipment specifically. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all tag for health-services-adjacent procurement rather than to reflect actual purchasing activity for ultrasound imaging of the inferior vena cava. The issuing bodies include San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated public hospital system), Birdville Independent School District in Texas (a school district), and the County of Santa Clara Health System, representing a mix of county health systems, school districts, and regional health authorities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with no clear repeat buyers or dominant regional pattern. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system with proposals due October 21, 2026, and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services with an October 7, 2026 response date. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors specializing in ultrasonography procedures or equipment.
