UNSPSC 85875516: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of fetal spine using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of fetal spine 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 BY34YZZ

UNSPSC 85875516 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of fetal spine using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve fetal spine MRI services or diagnostic imaging provision; instead, they span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (a PACS platform), special education clinical services (audiologists, speech language therapists, occupational therapists, and related professionals), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and therapy services. The code's narrowly defined nominal scope—a specific clinical imaging procedure—does not align with the broader health system technology and workforce management work actually being procured under the code identifier by state and local bodies.

San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system), Birdville Independent School District (a Texas school district), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (a regional health authority) represent the recent issuing bodies. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP posted October 7, 2026 solicited proposals for enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, targeting a response due October 21, 2026; Birdville ISD's September 18, 2026 RFP for special education contracted services across 23 line items (including audiologists, diagnosticians, and therapists) closed October 21, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a July 7, 2026 RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in multiple ancillary categories including diagnostic imaging and therapy services, with responses due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement, the code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing fetal spine MRI services specifically.
