UNSPSC 85877226: Fluoroscopy of lumbar facet joint(s) using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of lumbar facet joint(s) 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 BR160ZZ

UNSPSC 85877226 Fluoroscopy of lumbar facet joint(s) using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with this narrow procedure code. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broader diagnostic imaging infrastructure and health professional staffing — not fluoroscopy procedures themselves. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) posted an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, due October 21, 2026. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Texas solicited special education contracted services including vision evaluation and multiple allied health specialties, due October 21, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities directly procure fluoroscopy procedures or imaging services at the granular procedure level the code nominally describes.

The issuing-body mix reflects healthcare delivery systems — a county hospital system, a school district purchasing special education services, and a regional health authority. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). The code shows a mismatch between its specific clinical-procedure scope and what state and local buyers actually solicit under it. Procurement offices appear to tag imaging infrastructure and staffing needs to this code rather than discrete procedural services. Business development professionals should verify whether their service offerings — whether PACS systems, staffing placement, or direct imaging services — align with the broader infrastructure and labor contracts appearing under this code, as the opportunities do not reflect demand for the narrowly defined fluoroscopy procedure itself.
