UNSPSC 85876843: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of left knee

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of left knee. 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 BQ38ZZZ

UNSPSC 85876843 Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of left knee is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. The three most recent opportunities involve health system information technology infrastructure (a PACS system implementation), school district special education contracted services (including speech therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological evaluation), and a health system temporary staffing qualification pool spanning ancillary clinical roles such as audiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either data-entry error in the opportunities or systematic miscoding by issuing bodies; the code appears to see minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies include San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated public hospital system in California), Birdville Independent School District (an independent school district in northeast Tarrant County, Texas), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans California and Texas based on these three opportunities, with no additional jurisdictions represented. The Santa Clara Health System RFQ posted July 7, 2026 with due date October 7, 2026 seeks a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing without guaranteed volume; the San Mateo Medical Center RFP (solicitation 660002526251) posted October 7, 2026 with response due October 21, 2026 targets enterprise PACS implementation integrated with EPIC, rated 30% on project approach, 25% on firm qualifications, 20% on team qualifications, and 25% on price, with a local preference of 5–10% available under county ordinance. Neither opportunity maps to the code's stated imaging procedure, and the school district special education services opportunity is entirely unrelated to diagnostic imaging.
