This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 03CP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501314 "Extirpation of matter from right vertebral artery, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific interventional medical procedure, yet the six opportunities posted since mid-July 2026 concern administrative and occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing — none involving vascular interventions or percutaneous arterial procedures. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicits independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requests a surgical carve-out benefit program managing procedures including orthopedic and cardiac work through Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing; and Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services. None of these solicitations reference vascular procedures or arterial interventions.

The code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. State and local procurement does not commonly buy specific clinical procedures as discrete line items through RFPs and RFQs; instead, issuing bodies contract for medical services administration, provider network management, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local agencies actually structure medical procurement. Firms pursuing state and local contracts in health services should monitor related Commodity codes tied to occupational health management, medical staffing, and healthcare benefit administration rather than rely on this code's signal.
