UNSPSC 85501135: Dilation of left vertebral artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left vertebral artery with drug-eluting 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 037Q04Z

UNSPSC 85501135 Dilation of left vertebral artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative or operational health services unrelated to the specific interventional cardiology procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not appear to procure this procedure through the contracting mechanisms tracked in the recent-opportunities dataset, and the code assignment to these health administration and staffing solicitations reflects misclassification rather than actual purchasing intent under the code's scope.

This mismatch between code and content renders the code an unreliable signal for business development targeting state and local cardiovascular intervention work. Firms pursuing opportunities in occupational health screening, PBM administration, or temporary clinical staffing may encounter this code in state procurement systems, but it does not indicate demand for peripheral arterial interventions or the medical device integrations such work entails. Practitioners should verify code assignment independently when evaluating health services solicitations from state health systems, county health departments, and municipal employee benefit programs.
