UNSPSC 85877118: Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of lumbar spine

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of lumbar spine. 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 BR39ZZZ

UNSPSC 85877118 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lumbar spine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity shows little direct relevance to its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a hospital PACS implementation), special education contracted services (speech therapy, occupational therapy, and related evaluations), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and therapy services. Only the Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing solicitation explicitly names diagnostic imaging as one of several eligible service categories, suggesting a broad mismatch between the code's specific clinical imaging focus and the actual work being solicited. The issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville ISD), and a county health system (Santa Clara), reflecting use across public health delivery and education settings rather than concentrated procurement activity in a single sector.

Geographic activity appears in California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with response dates clustered in October 2026. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS, posted October 7, 2026 with a response date of October 21, 2026, is the most directly relevant to imaging infrastructure; it seeks enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System implementation with EPIC integration, supporting approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies and requiring 99.9% system uptime and migration of legacy imaging data. The Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation, posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026, includes diagnostic imaging and radiology as one of thirteen eligible ancillary health professional staffing categories but does not commit volume or guarantee work. The code's recent activity suggests limited targeted procurement specifically for MRI services of the lumbar spine; agencies are instead soliciting broader imaging platforms and staffing vehicles that encompass but do not isolate this service line.
