UNSPSC 85876335: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of right shoulder

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of right shoulder. 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 BP38ZZZ

UNSPSC 85876335 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of right shoulder is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code span diagnostic imaging system procurement, school-based special education services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute MRI services of the right shoulder or clinical diagnostic imaging procedures. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) in California is soliciting an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with EPIC integration to manage approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually; this is infrastructure and software procurement, not imaging services. Birdville Independent School District in Texas is requesting audiologists, diagnosticians, dyslexia evaluators, therapists, and other special education contractors on an as-needed basis across 30 campuses. Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in ancillary clinical roles including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services — again, staffing and labor procurement rather than diagnostic procedures.

The code shows no recent activity in state or local procurement aligned with its nominal scope of MRI imaging services. The geographic spread of recent opportunities — California and Texas — and the issuing-body mix — a county health system, a county-operated hospital, and a school district — reflect general health and education procurement activity rather than diagnostic imaging procedure contracting. State and local governments do not typically procure clinical diagnostic services like MRI scans through competitive bidding vehicles; instead, they contract with imaging centers or health systems for service access or establish staffing pools for clinical technicians. This code appears to be a data classification mismatch within state and local procurement systems rather than a category generating active opportunities.
