This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of intracranial artery with 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 03VG3DZ

UNSPSC 85501218, Restriction of intracranial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure classification and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific neurovascular surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefits carve-outs, and temporary health staffing — none of which involve intracranial arterial restriction procedures or the implantable devices those procedures require. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and county commissioners' offices, reflecting the breadth of public health and benefits administration rather than procedural medical device or supply contracting.

The recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations, with a $750,000 five-year maximum. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, posted an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Long Beach solicited a surgical benefits carve-out program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence coordination, and Collier County issued an RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services. Santa Clara County Health System opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) spanning 13 ancillary clinical specialties. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). This code appears misaligned with its procedural device classification and warrants reclassification review or correction in the state procurement system tagging logic.
