UNSPSC 85501236: Reposition left vertebral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left vertebral 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 03SQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501236 Reposition left vertebral artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little substantive activity aligned with its clinical specification. The opportunities instead reflect broader healthcare procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vertebral artery repositioning procedures or the interventional cardiology and vascular surgery services the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these healthcare management and service-delivery solicitations under a procedure-specific code, suggesting the code itself sees minimal genuine activity in the state and local market.

The opportunities that do appear span county and municipal healthcare systems across Florida and Georgia, with activity from the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care), San Mateo County Health (peer support services), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services). These are infrastructure and administrative healthcare buys — staffing, pharmacy networks, virtual care platforms, and clinical oversight — not procedural inventory or surgical services. Without evidence of state and local procurement activity actually seeking vertebral artery repositioning equipment, supplies, or clinical services under this code, the code presents no actionable opportunity for vendors in interventional vascular or cardiac procedure lines.
