UNSPSC 85501301: Insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left 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 03HQ3DZ

UNSPSC 85501301 Insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical procedure description does not match the scope of work actually appearing in recent state and local solicitations posted under this code classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve intraluminal device insertion or vascular intervention procedures. The mismatch suggests either coding error by issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not align with its Commodity-level intent.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary and psychiatric examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to serve as a general health services classification rather than a specific medical device or procedure procurement vehicle.
