UNSPSC 85872107: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral lower extremity arteries

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral lower extremity 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 B43HZZZ

UNSPSC 85872107 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of bilateral lower extremity arteries is a Commodity code that the source records show is rarely solicited directly under this code by state and local governments. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code reflect a mismatch: San Mateo Medical Center is procuring a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography work; Birdville Independent School District is contracting for special education services unrelated to MRI; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a staffing qualification pool for temporary health professionals including diagnostic imaging and radiology technicians. The nominal code scope—imaging of a specific anatomical site—does not align with the actual procurement activity the source shows. State and local health systems and hospital networks do purchase diagnostic imaging services and systems, but recent opportunities tagged to this code address infrastructure (PACS platforms), staffing pools (radiology technicians), and education services rather than direct MRI studies of lower extremity arteries.

Activity appears concentrated in California, with solicitations from San Mateo County Health System and Santa Clara County Health System, plus one Texas school district opportunity that does not reflect the code's stated scope. Geographic representation in the source is limited to two states. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS RFP (due October 21, 2026) calls for enterprise-grade imaging system implementation with EPIC integration, a migration from legacy ScImage systems, and vendor experience with public sector health systems—a significant systems integration procurement rather than direct imaging services. The Santa Clara Health System RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishes a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in diagnostic imaging and radiology, among other ancillary categories, with no guaranteed volume. Neither opportunity directly solicits imaging procedures themselves, suggesting the code may reflect a classification mismatch in state and local procurement data rather than a live market for bilateral lower extremity MRI services under this specific code.
