UNSPSC 85501217: Restriction of intracranial artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of intracranial artery, 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 03VG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501217 Restriction of intracranial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with this clinical scope. The six most recently posted opportunities under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing pools, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve intracranial artery restriction procedures or percutaneous vascular interventions. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to opportunities in health benefits administration and occupational medicine rather than acute surgical services.

Across the recent postings, issuing bodies include state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and oncology procedure carve-out networks due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations involve neurovascular or interventional procedures. The code shows no recent activity supporting actual procurement of intracranial artery restriction services.
