UNSPSC 85871002: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of spinal cord

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of spinal cord. 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 B03BZZZ

UNSPSC 85871002 Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of spinal cord is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the actual work state and local governments are currently soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect diagnostic imaging system infrastructure, health professional staffing, and clinical services delivery — work that falls well outside MRI spinal cord imaging. San Mateo County Medical Center is procuring an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging workflows; the County of Santa Clara Health System is qualifying vendors for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology services; and Birdville Independent School District (in northeast Texas) is seeking special education contracted services. The code shows minimal relevance to any of these opportunities, suggesting either misclassification by issuing bodies or a code whose nominal scope does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns.

Geographic activity centers on California and Texas based on recent posts, with San Mateo County (California) and Santa Clara County (California) soliciting health system infrastructure and staffing, and Birdville Independent School District (Texas) soliciting education services. The most substantive recent opportunity — San Mateo Medical Center's Diagnostic Imaging PACS RFP (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026) — emphasizes enterprise software implementation, EPIC EHR integration, data migration from legacy systems, and advanced visualization capabilities, with a five-year agreement term and compliance requirements including HIPAA Business Associate Agreements and San Mateo County Living Wage Ordinance ($17.00 per hour minimum). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated purpose of MRI spinal cord imaging services.
