UNSPSC 85877435: Fluoroscopy of bilateral kidneys using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of bilateral kidneys using low 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 BT131ZZ

UNSPSC 85877435 Fluoroscopy of bilateral kidneys using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. The three most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to fluoroscopic imaging services: San Mateo Medical Center sought proposals for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation supporting enterprise-grade radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging infrastructure; Birdville Independent School District issued an RFP for special education contracted services including audiologists, diagnosticians, and therapists across 30 campuses; and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology, but on a temporary placement basis rather than diagnostic procedure services. The code's nominal scope—a specific radiological procedure using low-osmolar contrast—does not align with the infrastructure procurement, school district staffing, or temporary clinical personnel contracting that appears in the recent posted opportunities.

The geographic spread of these posted opportunities spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but the mismatch between the code's stated service (a diagnostic imaging procedure) and the actual solicitations (PACS systems, education staffing, and temporary clinical staffing) suggests this code may be misapplied in the state and local procurement databases. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit fluoroscopy services, contrast materials, or related diagnostic imaging procedures under UNSPSC 85877435. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is the appropriate classification for opportunities they are evaluating, and consider whether opportunities tagged to this code warrant pursuit based on their actual scope rather than the code's nominal name.
