UNSPSC 85501112: Insertion of infusion device into intracranial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into intracranial artery, 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 03HG03Z

UNSPSC 85501112 Insertion of infusion device into intracranial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code center on occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the insertion of intracranial infusion devices. This code appears to have been incorrectly applied to opportunities that fall outside its clinical procedure classification.

The mismatch between the code's specification (a surgical procedure requiring intracranial access) and the actual work being solicited (occupational health screening, benefits administration, staffing placement, and general medical services) suggests either data entry error or category misclassification by issuing bodies. The buying mix includes state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach) across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of the posted opportunities align with intracranial medical device placement. Business development professionals should verify category coding with issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities; the code as posted does not reflect genuine procurement of the procedure it nominally describes.
