UNSPSC 85876116: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of lower extremity tendons

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of lower extremity tendons. 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 BL33ZZZ

UNSPSC 85876116 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lower extremity tendons is a Commodity code that nominally describes diagnostic imaging services, yet the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code do not align with MRI procurement or lower extremity tendon imaging. Instead, the opportunities posted reflect broader health system contracting for diagnostic imaging systems (PACS infrastructure), special education contracted services (including audiologists and speech language therapists), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity for MRI services specifically. State and local issuing bodies—including county health systems, independent school districts, and public hospital operators—appear to be using this code as a catchall for clinical and diagnostic services procurement, rather than for targeted MRI imaging or specialized tendon diagnostics.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code span California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with issuing bodies ranging from public health systems to school districts. Representative recent solicitations include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026), which encompasses enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging; Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026); and Birdville Independent School District's competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services (posted September 18, 2026, due October 21, 2026). The code's use as a catch-all rather than a targeted identifier suggests vendors should verify actual scope alignment during pre-bid inquiry before investing in proposal development.
