This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 037P3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501336 Dilation of right vertebral artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code procurement activity involve medical benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which concern percutaneous vascular dilation. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests that either the code has been misapplied by issuing bodies or the taxonomy entry does not align with how state and local jurisdictions tag healthcare procurement.

State and local activity recorded under this code spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), county governments (Collier, Harris), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation pre-bid conference for occupational medical surveillance (pre-bid August 31, 2026; responses due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not map to the work actually being solicited, prospective bidders should verify code applicability with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
