UNSPSC 85875220: Fluoroscopy of thoracic disc(s) using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of thoracic disc(s) using other 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 BR12YZZ

UNSPSC 85875220 Fluoroscopy of thoracic disc(s) using other contrast is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code are diagnostic imaging system implementation and health professional staffing services — neither of which involves fluoroscopy procedures or the specialized thoracic imaging the code describes. The mismatch suggests the code may be incorrectly assigned to these solicitations in the source system, or that the code is being applied to tangentially related clinical IT infrastructure and staffing procurement rather than the actual imaging services the code name denotes.

The three recent opportunities span two states and three issuing bodies: San Mateo County Medical Center (California) posted a PACS system RFP due October 21, 2026, with enterprise-grade imaging and EPIC integration requirements; Birdville Independent School District (Texas) posted an RFQ for special education contracted services (audiology, speech therapy, physical therapy, and related diagnostics) due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) posted an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, due October 7, 2026. The San Mateo and Santa Clara opportunities suggest some state and local health systems are actively procuring imaging infrastructure and ancillary clinical staffing, but the code assignment does not reflect the scope of actual work being solicited under it, making it difficult to use this code as a reliable market signal for thoracic fluoroscopy or related imaging procedures in state and local contracting.
