UNSPSC 85874104: Ultrasonography of superior vena cava

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of superior 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 B548ZZZ

UNSPSC 85874104 Ultrasonography of superior vena cava is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities on file show no solicitations for ultrasound imaging services, vascular studies, or diagnostic ultrasound equipment. The three posted opportunities reference diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing (including diagnostic imaging and radiology categories) at the County of Santa Clara Health System. None of these directly address ultrasound procurement, procedure provision, or vena cava imaging capability — the first is a system infrastructure buy, the second is education services unrelated to the code scope, and the third is staffing for ancillary clinical roles where ultrasound is one possible service line among many others. The code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement record as currently filed.

If ultrasound services or equipment are within your addressable market, this code's quiet status suggests either strong incumbent vendor relationships within state and local health systems, procurement routed through integrated health IT or staffing vehicles (as seen in the Santa Clara and San Mateo solicitations), or purchasing patterns that do not surface as standalone line items in public RFPs and RFQs. The Santa Clara Health System opportunity does mention diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing, which could include ultrasound technologists or sonographers, but that vehicle is a non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool mechanism focused on temporary staffing placement rather than ultrasound service delivery or equipment procurement.
