UNSPSC 85501252: Occlusion of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, 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 03LQ3DZ

UNSPSC 85501252 Occlusion of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contracting activity identified under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code are health services procurement — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgery benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve arterial occlusion procedures or interventional cardiology services. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure, whereas the state and local market activity under this code spans administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management. This mismatch signals either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the code is being used to classify a broader health services family than its procedure-specific name suggests.

The recent solicitations originate from diverse issuing bodies: city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county benefits consortia (Collier County), city employee benefits programs (Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the procedural specificity of the code name and the absence of any opportunities actually soliciting interventional vascular procedures, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in interventional cardiology or vascular intervention.
