UNSPSC 85874420: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral lower extremity veins using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral lower extremity veins 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 B53DYZZ

UNSPSC 85874420 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of bilateral lower extremity veins using other contrast is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems architecture and implementation (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS procurement), special education contracted services across multiple disciplines (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology (County of Santa Clara Health System). The code's nominal scope—a specific MRI imaging protocol—bears no meaningful relationship to the scope of actual solicitations. San Mateo Medical Center is requesting enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Birdville ISD is seeking contracted diagnostician, audiologist, speech language therapist, and related services; and Santa Clara County Health System is qualifying vendors for temporary staffing in diagnostic imaging/radiology, audiology, therapy services, and other ancillary roles. The issuing bodies span county health systems, independent school districts, and county-operated medical centers across multiple states.

The code shows recent activity in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with opportunities posted between July and October 2026. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS RFP (due October 21, 2026) requires vendor qualifications including successful EPIC-integrated PACS implementations in public sector or large health system settings within five years, with evaluation weighted 30 points to project approach, 25 points to firm qualifications, 20 points to team qualifications, and 25 points to price. Birdville ISD's special education services RFP (due October 21, 2026) covers 23 line items with cost-price analysis of $398,494.30 and evaluation criteria weighted 55 percent to purchase price and associated costs, 20 percent to reputation and experience, 12 percent to quality, 12 percent to ability to meet district needs, and 1 percent to historically underutilized business compliance. Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishes a five-year qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work, accepting proposals for single or multiple health professional categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology on a case-by-case negotiation basis. This code appears to be a taxonomy misclassification for the solicitations actually being posted under it.
