UNSPSC 85501146: Dilation of intracranial artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of intracranial artery with 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 037G0DZ

UNSPSC 85501146 Dilation of intracranial artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show no relevant activity aligned with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — do not involve intracranial vascular intervention or surgical procedures using intraluminal devices. These solicitations span medical evaluation administration, benefit program management, occupational health compliance, and staffing for general clinical categories, none of which match the procedural specificity of the code.

The mismatch reflects a classification anomaly rather than active procurement demand under this code. Issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation and ferry systems (Washington), county health systems and criminal justice agencies (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and a county employee benefits consortium (Collier County), across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities specifically solicit dilation services, intravascular equipment, or related surgical supplies or devices. The code appears inactive for state and local procurement purposes; vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing market opportunities under this designation.
