UNSPSC 85872113: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of right lower extremity arteries

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of right 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 B43FZZZ

UNSPSC 85872113 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of right lower extremity arteries is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single diagnostic imaging procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under it do not reflect this narrow scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span enterprise diagnostic imaging systems, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align directly with MRI procedural billing or imaging of a specific anatomical site. The issuing bodies include a county public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville ISD in Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either that procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health services or that the indexing does not accurately reflect the commodities being procured.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). The San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP on October 7, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, with a 9-12 month implementation timeline and five-year agreement term; Birdville ISD issued a competitive sealed proposal on September 18, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services including speech language therapists and occupational therapists; and Santa Clara County Health System issued an RFQ on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology services. The code shows little relevant recent activity directly tied to MRI imaging procedures and warrants close examination before pursuit — the opportunities filed under it do not represent a coherent procurement category.
