UNSPSC 85875029: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral parotid glands

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral parotid glands. 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 B936ZZZ

UNSPSC 85875029 Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of bilateral parotid glands is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local solicitation activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of MRI services or imaging of parotid glands; instead, they encompass diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (PACS software and implementation), special education contracted services (speech therapy, occupational therapy, and related fields), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including radiology and therapy services. The only opportunity with direct relevance to diagnostic imaging is the San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation, which addresses enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging — a systems-and-infrastructure purchase rather than patient imaging services themselves. The special education and temporary staffing solicitations are unrelated to the code's stated scope.

Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with no additional recent opportunities supporting a broader regional or national characterization. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS with a response deadline of October 21, 2026, requiring enterprise-grade implementation with EPIC EHR integration, 99.9% uptime, and 9–12 month implementation; the solicitation emphasizes HIPAA compliance, living wage requirements ($17.00 per hour minimum), and Section 504 accessibility. Santa Clara County Health System issued an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services, with proposals due October 7, 2026, structured as a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. The code demonstrates minimal recent activity genuinely aligned with MRI imaging procurement and warrants review of classification accuracy.
