UNSPSC 85501145: Dilation of intracranial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 037G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85501145 Dilation of intracranial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with intracranial vascular intervention. Instead, the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block includes independent medical evaluation services for pension-system disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—none of which involve intracranial artery dilation as a direct procurement line item.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across these opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). The activity reflects administrative and managed-care health service contracting rather than operative procedure procurement at the clinical procedure level. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit intracranial neurosurgery services as discrete contract line items; such procedures are ordinarily embedded within hospital network agreements, surgical center privileges, or employee health-plan benefit architecture. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests this code either mis-tags these opportunities or sees minimal direct procurement at the procedure level.
