UNSPSC 85501072: Occlusion of right vertebral artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right vertebral artery with extraluminal 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 03LP0CZ

UNSPSC 85501072, Occlusion of right vertebral artery with extraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific medical device procedure used in vascular surgery, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with procurement of that device or related implantable hardware. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric detention healthcare — none of which involve vertebral artery occlusion devices or operative vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests this code either has been misapplied to these opportunities or lacks active procurement volume under its core scope within state and local contracting.

The recent opportunities themselves — from the Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Harris County, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara — reflect broader health services procurement (medical examinations, benefits carve-outs, pharmacy administration, temporary clinical staffing, and detention healthcare) rather than device or surgical-procedure sourcing. Without evidence of actual state and local demand for vertebral artery occlusion devices or related implantable vascular products, this code does not present a viable pursuit category for business development professionals targeting public-sector procurement.
