UNSPSC 85871817: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral common carotid arteries using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral common carotid arteries using other 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 B335YZZ

UNSPSC 85871817 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of bilateral common carotid arteries using other contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that narrow clinical specification. 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 involve MRI procedures of carotid arteries specifically. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or that the code's practical use in state and local procurement diverges significantly from its nominal definition. The issuing bodies include a public health system (San Mateo County), an independent school district (Birdville ISD in Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara County), indicating that the code, if actively used, draws procurement action across health systems, education, and temporary staffing contexts.

Geographic activity under this code spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County). Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's October 7, 2026 RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) with proposals due October 21, 2026, which involves enterprise-grade imaging infrastructure supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography across the health system; and Santa Clara County Health System's July 7, 2026 RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope and warrants verification against actual procurement needs before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
