UNSPSC 85501258: Occlusion of right vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right vertebral artery with bioactive 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 03LP3BZ

UNSPSC 85501258 Occlusion of right vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific cardiovascular interventional procedure — does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities recorded against this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare delivery, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vertebral artery occlusion or bioactive intraluminal devices. The mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the state or local source systems or an artifact of how opportunities are tagged in the indexing system; the code does not meaningfully describe what state and local governments are actually buying in this cluster.

The geographic spread across these opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal human resources and retirement offices, county health systems and procurement divisions, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. No recent activity under this code reflects the cardiovascular device procurement that the code nominally describes. Given the evident disconnect between the code's stated scope and the opportunities indexed to it, this code should be treated as showing little relevant recent activity for firms focused on medical device distribution, hospital supply, or cardiovascular intervention services.
