UNSPSC 85876810: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of right patella

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of right patella. 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 BQ3VZZZ

UNSPSC 85876810 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of right patella is a Commodity code that represents a specific diagnostic imaging service, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (a PACS platform), special education contracted services (audiology, speech therapy, and related personnel), and temporary health professional staffing. Only the first — San Mateo Medical Center's diagnostic imaging PACS solicitation — involves imaging systems at all, and it encompasses enterprise-grade picture archiving across radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging rather than a single anatomic study type. The second and third opportunities (Birdville Independent School District's special education services and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing) are unrelated to imaging and suggest either miscoding or a mismatch between the UNSPSC designation and what is actually being procured.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas, with San Mateo County posting a diagnostic imaging PACS RFP due October 21, 2026, calling for enterprise-grade implementation supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies plus cardiology and mammography work, EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, and a five-year agreement term; Santa Clara Health System opened a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (including diagnostic imaging roles) with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Birdville ISD solicited special education contracted services with October 21, 2026 deadline. The issuing bodies span a county hospital system, a county health authority, and a school district. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific MRI study of a single anatomic site) and the diversity of procurement activity tagged to it, practitioners should verify the actual commodities or services being sought before pursuing opportunities under this code.
