UNSPSC 85874502: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of other veins using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of other 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 B53VYZZ

UNSPSC 85874502 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of other veins using other contrast is a Commodity code that represents advanced diagnostic imaging services, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not align with the code's clinical scope. The three most recent opportunities posted by state and local bodies involve diagnostic imaging infrastructure procurement (a PACS system from San Mateo Medical Center), special education contracted services (from Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging (from Santa Clara Health System). Only the Santa Clara Health System solicitation touches imaging-related work, and that is staffing for temporary diagnostic imaging professionals rather than MRI procedures themselves. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical specificity and actual procurement activity indicates the code sees little direct relevant activity in state and local government contracting.

San Mateo County's October 2026 RFP for diagnostic imaging PACS implementation is the strongest signal of imaging-adjacent procurement, with proposals due October 21, 2026, but it targets system software, data migration, and infrastructure integration rather than the imaging services the code nominally describes. Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026) explicitly includes diagnostic imaging/radiology among its eligible service categories, alongside audiology, cardiology, orthopedic, and therapy services, though the posting does not quantify expected volume or define imaging-specific staffing requirements. Geographic activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties). State and local buyers do not appear to be procuring MRI procedures or other clinical imaging services directly under this code; where imaging-related contracting occurs, it is typically for infrastructure, staffing intermediation, or integrated health system contracts rather than standalone diagnostic procedures.
