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 (Commodity) does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code names a specific surgical procedure performed on a patient; state and local buyers do not procure this procedure as a standalone commodity or contract deliverable. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—reflect procurement of healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management services, none of which involve the reposition of a vertebral artery or any comparable procedural service. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to healthcare service contracts that should fall under different commodity codes related to employee benefits administration, occupational health services, or staffing.

No relevant recent state and local procurement activity exists under this code. Prospective vendors evaluating this opportunity should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing work; the present code does not reflect actual government buying patterns in this market segment.
