UNSPSC 85877162: Fluoroscopy of lumbar spine using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of lumbar spine 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 BR190ZZ

UNSPSC 85877162 Fluoroscopy of lumbar spine using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The three opportunities identified span diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS implementation), portable ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which constitute fluoroscopic lumbar spine imaging using high osmolar contrast medium. The code appears to be a placeholder or administrative mislabeling by issuing bodies rather than an active procurement category for the specific clinical service the code names.

San Mateo County (California), Collier County (Florida), and the City of Albuquerque (New Mexico) have posted under this code within the past six months, suggesting fragmented and infrequent activity with no repeat buyer pattern. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, due August 7, 2026, is the most substantive recent solicitation and relates to enterprise PACS software and implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging — infrastructure rather than a clinical procedure itself. Collier County's Notice of Intent to Single Source EchoNous, Inc. (posted April 1, 2026) covered ultrasound equipment and warranties, and the City of Albuquerque's RFB for blood draw services (due February 25, 2026) requested phlebotomy technician availability. None of these solicitations represent actual procurement of fluoroscopic imaging services or the high osmolar contrast materials the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should verify code alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this classification, as the code does not appear to reflect genuine market activity in the service it nominally names.
