UNSPSC 85501147: Dilation of intracranial 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 intracranial 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 037G04Z

UNSPSC 85501147 Dilation of intracranial artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows minimal activity aligned with its nominal medical device scope; instead, the code appears to be misapplied to health services opportunities unrelated to interventional neuroradiology procedures. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve intracranial arterial dilation devices or procedures. The issuing bodies are diverse, including a state department of transportation, county health systems, county commissioners, city retirement offices, and health authorities across multiple states. The code carries no signal of actual procurement demand for the device or procedure it nominally describes.

Geographic activity in the recent records spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and Florida (Collier County), but the dispersion reflects the mismatch between the code assignment and the work being bought rather than legitimate market concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Vendors monitoring this code for device or procedure opportunities should treat it as inactive in state and local procurement; the category's recent history suggests systematic classification error rather than demand signal.
