UNSPSC 85501138 Dilation of right vertebral artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with cardiovascular interventional services. Instead, the solicitations posted under this code reflect health plan administration, occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, and temporary clinical staffing — services unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch indicates that this code receives little relevant activity within state and local government procurement channels, or that issuing bodies have misclassified their postings.
