UNSPSC 85501247: Release right vertebral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 03NP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501247 Release right vertebral artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that the source does not support with relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC tag span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which align with the vertebral artery release procedure. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or an artifact of how healthcare service procurement is being classified, making this code unreliable as a signal for pursuing vascular surgical procedure work.

The represented issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and a municipal employee benefits program (City of Long Beach). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, though the opportunities themselves fall outside the code's stated commodity scope and warrant verification with each jurisdiction's procurement office before bid pursuit.
