UNSPSC 85501114: Extirpation of matter from right vertebral artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right vertebral 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 03CP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85501114, Extirpation of matter from right vertebral artery, open approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broader occupational health, retirement-benefit medical evaluation, employee health benefit administration, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's procedure-specific definition. State and local procurement systems occasionally misclassify opportunities at the Commodity tier, and this code appears to be one such mismatch. The opportunities themselves span legitimate health-care-related buying by counties, cities, state departments, and special districts, but they do not represent purchasing under this code's actual scope.

The geographic spread of the misclassified opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with response dates clustered between September and October 2026. No solicitations in the source reflect demand for vertebral artery surgery or related vascular procedures from state or local buyers. Bidders should verify the actual UNSPSC classification of opportunities before responding; the code as currently tagged does not support a viable pursuit strategy.
