UNSPSC 85871816: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral common carotid arteries

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral common carotid arteries. 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 B335ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871816 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of bilateral common carotid arteries is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this designation. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly match MRI services for carotid artery imaging. The San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is the closest fit to imaging-related work, focused on enterprise-grade radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging infrastructure with EPIC integration, but the solicitation encompasses broad diagnostic imaging capture and storage rather than a specific MRI modality or diagnostic protocol.

The issuing bodies in the recent activity include a county public hospital system (San Mateo County), a school district (Birdville Independent School District in Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara County), reflecting fragmented procurement across different service lines. Geographic spread covers California and Texas in the recent window. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation with a response date of October 21, 2026 requires vendor experience with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, and data migration from legacy systems; Santa Clara County's July 2026 RFQ establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing across a five-year term. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its stated scope of bilateral carotid MRI imaging specifically, suggesting either sparse procurement demand for this narrow diagnostic procedure at state and local public health entities or systematic miscoding of opportunities in the underlying procurement systems.
