UNSPSC 85501338: Dilation of right 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 right 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 037P34Z

UNSPSC 85501338 "Dilation of right vertebral artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative and clinical services unrelated to the specific interventional cardiology procedure the code describes. State and local governments do not systematically procure individual medical procedures as line-item commodities through public solicitations; they contract for insurance administration, health plan management, and provider networks that may incidentally cover such procedures, but the procedure itself is not a direct procurement object.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns reflects the structural difference between UNSPSC's medical-procedure taxonomy and state and local health benefits administration. Vendors pursuing state and local health-related opportunities should focus on Family and Class codes covering managed care, benefits administration, and provider contracting rather than on specific medical procedures at the Commodity level.
