UNSPSC 85501335: Dilation of left vertebral artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left vertebral artery with drug-eluting 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 037Q34Z

UNSPSC 85501335 Dilation of left vertebral artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific interventional cardiology procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under it procure administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular intervention or implantable devices. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach sought a surgical carve-out benefit program administering pre- and post-care for elective procedures through Centers of Excellence; and the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations. These opportunities reflect administrative or preventive occupational health services rather than procedures requiring drug-eluting intraluminal devices.

State and local activity under this code appears minimal and misaligned. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health systems, and county benefits consortiums. Geographic representation includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (due October 16, 2026) for medical record review and independent examinations supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Ferries RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across ferry operations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The apparent mismatch between the code's clinical procedure focus and the health-administration services actually being solicited suggests either systematic tagging error or that this Commodity code does not capture significant state and local procurement in this domain.
