UNSPSC 85501204: Restriction of left vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous 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 03VQ3BZ

UNSPSC 85501204 Restriction of left vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific medical device and procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with this code's narrow clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code reflect routine public sector health administration and occupational health services—medical record summarization for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. The mismatch between the code's stated scope (a precise interventional cardiology procedure requiring a bioactive intraluminal device) and the actual solicitations (administrative health services, staffing platforms, and benefits management) suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all for health-related contracting that does not fit other taxonomy categories.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Long Beach), and quasi-public pension boards. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year contract), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services ($8.7 million historical annual spend, proposal deadline April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Firms evaluating this code should treat it as misaligned with the device-procedure taxonomy label; pursue opportunities based on the actual solicitation scope—benefits administration, occupational health programs, or clinical staffing—rather than the stated code definition.
