UNSPSC 85872503: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of cervico-cerebral arch using other contrast, unenhanced and enhanced

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of cervico-cerebral arch using other contrast, unenhanced and enhancedmagnetic resonance imaging (mri) of cervico-cerebral arch using other contrast, unenhanced and enhanced. 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 B33QY0Z

UNSPSC 85872503 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cervico-cerebral arch using other contrast, unenhanced and enhanced is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers diagnostic imaging system software, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementations, and related imaging infrastructure—not the clinical imaging procedure itself. State and local buyers under this code include hospital systems and county health authorities acquiring enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging platforms. San Mateo Medical Center, a county-operated public hospital system, solicited RFP 660002526251 for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS to replace its legacy ScImage system and support radiology, cardiology, and mammography studies across the organization. The scope required EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, 3D imaging and multi-planar reconstruction capabilities, 99.9% system uptime, support for 100 concurrent users, and vendor qualifications including prior PACS deployments in public-sector or large health system contexts and five-year implementation agreements. Santa Clara County Health System issued a separate multiple-award qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a vendor pool for temporary diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing services, which shares code assignment but represents a distinct contracting vehicle for supplemental clinical personnel rather than imaging systems.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in California, particularly among county-level health systems and public hospital operators. San Mateo County's PACS opportunity posted October 7, 2026, with response due October 21, 2026, and Santa Clara County's staffing solicitation posted July 7, 2026, with qualification deadline October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific MRI clinical procedure) and the actual state and local purchases under it (imaging software platforms and temporary staffing) suggests either consistent mis-tagging in the source database or a broader code assignment practice that groups diagnostic imaging modalities with supporting infrastructure and personnel. Geographic concentration appears limited to California health systems in recent quarters, with no visible activity in other states.
