UNSPSC 85876606: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of head using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of head 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 BW38YZZ

UNSPSC 85876606 Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of head using other contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes diagnostic imaging procedures; however, the recent state and local contracting activity under this code shows no alignment with MRI services themselves. Instead, the three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging infrastructure (PACS software and implementation), school-based special education services, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope (a specific MRI procedure with contrast) and the breadth of opportunities posted suggests either classification error in the source data or inconsistent code application by the issuing bodies. The work actually being solicited under this code—when it does relate to imaging—centers on enterprise imaging platforms, data migration, and clinical staffing rather than the MRI procedure itself.

The issuing bodies span a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville Independent School District in northeast Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara Health System in California). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. The most recent representative opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation with proposals due October 21, 2026 (enterprise-grade system supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime requirement, and data migration from legacy ScImage system), Birdville Independent School District's RFQ for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026 (23 line items including audiologist, speech language therapist, and related ancillary services across 30 campuses), and Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology, with submissions due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted do not reflect procurement of MRI imaging procedures or related clinical services in the conventional sense.
