UNSPSC 85874223: Fluoroscopy of right lower extremity veins using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of right lower 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 B51B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85874223 Fluoroscopy of right lower extremity veins using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code for a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct alignment with the fluoroscopy service itself. Instead, the opportunities posted reveal that state and local health systems are soliciting broadly for diagnostic imaging infrastructure, temporary health professional staffing in imaging and ancillary clinical roles, and specialized clinical services that span far beyond the narrow procedure named in the code. The actual purchasing pattern under this code reflects how state and local procurement offices tag health system service contracts — the tagging may not match the granular procedure name, creating a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought. Issuing bodies include county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, County of Santa Clara Health System) and school districts (Birdville Independent School District in Texas) when special education evaluation and therapy services are tagged under this code. The geographic spread is limited: California (San Mateo, Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County) are the primary sources of recent activity.

Recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) with proposals due October 21, 2026, seeking enterprise-grade PACS implementation to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration — a software and infrastructure procurement, not a fluoroscopy procedure. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification RFQ on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, for temporary health professional staffing services across 13 ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Audiology, Therapy Services, and others — vendor pool establishment for labor placement, not imaging procedures. Birdville Independent School District posted a competitive sealed RFQ due October 21, 2026, for special education contracted services across 23 line items including occupational therapist, speech language therapist, and other specialized evaluators. Bidders should verify that activity tagged under this code aligns with their service offerings before pursuing; the code's nominal scope (fluoroscopy with high osmolar contrast) does not accurately describe the health system and education contracting patterns visible in recent postings.
