UNSPSC 85501400: Principal arteries brain and spinal column, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the brain and spinal column with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85501400 Principal arteries brain and spinal column, percutaneous endoscopic approach—part A is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity. The five most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not correspond to neurosurgical interventions or neuroendovascular procedures: instead, they span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve the procedural, device, or implant scope that the code's name implies. The mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the actual work being bought suggests either a classification error in the posting systems or that the code is not actively used for state and local healthcare procurement in the markets tracked here.

The geographic spread of the few posted opportunities extends across Georgia (Muscogee County, Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), and California (San Mateo County), with no concentration in any single state. The Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy RFP (due May 15, 2026, issued by Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department) and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (due April 9, 2026, issued by Collier County Board of County Commissioners) represent the most concrete healthcare-adjacent solicitations, but both address correctional or employee-population health administration rather than specialized surgical or interventional procedures. Absent meaningful alignment between this Class code's nominal scope and documented state and local buying activity, pursuing opportunities under this code presents low strategic value unless the mismatch reflects a systemic classification issue at a particular jurisdiction or cooperative purchasing entity.
