UNSPSC 85501054: Replacement of intracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of intracranial artery with synthetic substitute, 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 03RG0JZ

UNSPSC 85501054, Replacement of intracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (neurovascular intervention), but recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve intracranial artery replacement or the specialized vascular intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-taxonomy alignment issue that limits the code's utility as a reliable signal for pursuing state and local contracts in this domain.

The recent opportunities do surface activity across multiple issuing-body types and geographies. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026, proposals due October 9, 2026), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluations, proposals due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits, proposals due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, RFI responses due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, proposals due April 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026) represent state departments, cities, and counties across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the code's mismatch with the actual work being bought, this code should not be relied upon to identify relevant procurement opportunities in state and local healthcare contracting.
