UNSPSC 85501237: Reposition right vertebral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 03SP3ZZ

This UNSPSC 85501237 Reposition right vertebral artery, percutaneous approach Commodity code shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code is a clinical procedural code for a specific surgical intervention on the vertebral artery, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve vertebral artery procedures or similar surgical services. Instead, the opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve the spinal or vascular interventional procedures the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or that the code is being used as a fallback category for general healthcare contracting activity.

The issuing bodies are diverse county and municipal health and human services departments across Florida, Georgia, and California, with no repeat buyers evident in the recent postings. Geographic activity is scattered across Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, Muscogee County in Georgia, Santa Monica in California, and San Mateo County in California. The only concrete recent solicitations are Collier County Procurement Services Division's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026), Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for Inmate Medical & Pharmacy Services for Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's procedural name and the actual work being solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for surgical or interventional vascular services and warrants reclassification if vendors are seeking opportunities in those specialties.
