UNSPSC 85501300: Principal arteries brain and spinal column, percutaneous approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the brain and spinal column with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85501300 Principal arteries brain and spinal column, percutaneous approach–part B is a Class code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure scope. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 in the recent-opportunities block—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—represent healthcare administration, managed care, and workforce support rather than interventional or surgical procedures on cerebral or spinal vasculature. The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers in the current market.

State and local health systems, county corrections agencies, and municipal fire departments are actively procuring comprehensive healthcare delivery, pharmacy management, and clinical leadership services, but these solicitations are tagged to this procedural code without evidence that any issuing body is purchasing percutaneous interventions on principal arteries of the brain and spinal column. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Georgia (Muscogee County Prison, Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica Fire Department), but the work being bought—eligibility management, claims processing, virtual visit platforms, peer support coordination, and medical direction oversight—falls outside the code's defined clinical scope. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat recent activity as a data-quality signal rather than a market opportunity and verify code alignment before pursuing any of these solicitations.
