UNSPSC 85501073: Occlusion of right vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right vertebral artery with bioactive 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 03LP0BZ

UNSPSC 85501073, Occlusion of right vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source material contains six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, but none involves procurement of medical devices or surgical procedures for vertebral artery occlusion; instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific interventional cardiology or neurosurgery device for a particular vascular procedure—and the actual solicitations indicates either systematic mis-tagging of these health services opportunities or a structural limitation in how state and local procurement offices apply this clinical procedure code to administrative health services contracting. Business development professionals pursuing medical device, interventional equipment, or surgical supply contracts should verify the actual UNSPSC codes assigned by issuing bodies before relying on this code as a targeting vector.

No opportunities under UNSPSC 85501073 for the device category it nominally describes have posted in state and local markets in the period reflected by this source.
