This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right vertebral artery with intraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85501137 Dilation of right vertebral artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedure taxonomy does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited under it; the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular intervention procedures.

The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the recent solicitations suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code is not actively used for state and local contracting. No representative opportunities for dilation of vertebral arteries, vascular surgery services, or related interventional medical procedures appear in the recent activity block. The issuing bodies posting under this code — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — are soliciting administrative health services, occupational medicine surveillance, employee pharmacy programs, and clinical temp staffing, not interventional vascular procedures. Vendors evaluating this code should verify current UNSPSC assignments directly with state and local procurement offices, as the recent activity suggests either systematic tagging errors or dormancy in actual procurement of the procedure this code describes.
