UNSPSC 85876550: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of upper extremity tendons using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of upper extremity tendons 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 BL32YZZ

UNSPSC 85876550 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of upper extremity tendons using other contrast is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara Health System—reflect health system infrastructure, school district services, and clinical staffing rather than MRI imaging procedures or radiology service delivery. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation addresses enterprise picture archiving and communication systems supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with migration from legacy systems; the BISD opportunity covers speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and other special education services across 30 campuses; and the Santa Clara Health System opportunity establishes vendor pools for temporary diagnostic imaging/radiology staffing alongside audiology, cardiology, and other ancillary clinical roles. None of these opportunities directly procure MRI studies or upper extremity imaging services themselves.

The three recent opportunities originate from California counties (San Mateo and Santa Clara) and a Texas school district (Birdville ISD in Tarrant County), but the geographic and issuing-body diversity is limited by the small sample size. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for PACS closed October 21, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm and team qualifications (45 points combined), and price (25 points); vendors must demonstrate EPIC integration experience and public sector health system implementations. Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing, posted July 7, 2026 with closure October 7, 2026, establishes a five-year Qualified List with no guaranteed work. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual opportunities suggests this code receives minimal relevant activity or is being applied incorrectly by issuing bodies.
