UNSPSC 85501002: Restriction of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, open approach. This surgical 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 03VQ0DZ

UNSPSC 85501002 Restriction of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span healthcare administration and clinical service delivery but do not match the code's nominal scope of a specific vascular surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy entry and actual state and local buying patterns in this category.

State and local procurement offices—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—are actively soliciting health services across multiple categories, but none of the recent notices target the vertebral artery procedure itself. Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies spanning municipal retirement systems, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and regional health systems. Absent concrete evidence that state and local governments solicit restriction of left vertebral artery procedures under this code, the category warrants minimal pursuit attention at this time.
