UNSPSC 85501233: Supplement intracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement intracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03UG3KZ

UNSPSC 85501233 (Supplement intracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities on record show no direct procurement of this surgical implant or procedure. The code nominally describes a specific intracranial surgical intervention using a nonautologous tissue substitute inserted percutaneously; however, the six most recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code address independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. These opportunities span medical administration, benefits management, and occupational health services—none involve the procurement, supply, or performance of intracranial artery supplementation procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits programs, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems. The persistent mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual scope of recent solicitations tagged to it suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement systems using this code or that the code has been repurposed for broader health services administration categories. No recent opportunities show procurement of intracranial implants, surgical devices, or the procedure itself.
