UNSPSC 85876553: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of upper extremity connective tissue 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 connective tissue 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 BL30YZZ

UNSPSC 85876553 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of upper extremity connective tissue using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure — MRI imaging with contrast application — yet the three recent opportunities on file span enterprise diagnostic imaging systems, school district special education services, and temporary health professional staffing pools. Only one opportunity, the San Mateo Medical Center Diagnostic Imaging PACS procurement, touches diagnostic imaging infrastructure; the other two are unrelated to MRI or connective-tissue imaging. The San Mateo opportunity centers on enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging workflows with EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, requiring migration of 65,000 annual radiology studies from a legacy system and implementation of advanced visualization capabilities including 3D imaging and multi-planar reconstruction — work that falls outside the procedure-specific code definition.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California and Texas based on the recent opportunities. San Mateo Medical Center, a county-operated public hospital system in San Mateo County, California, issued an RFP (Solicitation 660002526251) due October 21, 2026 for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation, offering a local preference of 5–10% under county ordinance for local businesses and small or micro businesses. Santa Clara County Health System, also in California, issued a multiple-award qualification RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services, though the solicitation is non-exclusive with no guaranteed work and covers multiple specialties beyond imaging alone. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas, solicited special education contracted services (Solicitation 01027) due October 21, 2026, which bears no relevance to the code's imaging scope. The code shows minimal current purchasing activity aligned with its nominal diagnostic procedure definition.
