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 BV08YZZ

UNSPSC 85875605 Plain radiography of vasa vasorum using other contrast is a Commodity code showing a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve plain radiography or vascular imaging at all. Instead, the code has appeared on three recent solicitations spanning diagnostic imaging systems procurement (a PACS implementation), ultrasound equipment supply, and phlebotomy services — none of which align with the code's technical radiology definition. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all tag for a broader range of clinical diagnostic and laboratory services rather than as a precise radiography-specific classifier. The issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a county health procurement division (Collier County), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque Police Department), reflecting fragmented adoption across public health and public safety jurisdictions.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California, Florida, and New Mexico. The most substantial recent opportunity is San Mateo County's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (due August 7, 2026), seeking enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation with EPIC integration to support 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with a five-year agreement term and local preference available under County Ordinance. Collier County, Florida posted a Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous ultrasound equipment and related services (contract term March 26, 2026 through March 25, 2028), and the Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services (due February 25, 2026) covering 300 anticipated service calls annually across Bernalillo County. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated radiology focus; vendors should verify code assignment accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85875605.
