UNSPSC 85501405: Restriction of right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic 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 03VP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501405 Restriction of right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which align with vertebral artery restriction procedures or percutaneous endoscopic intervention. The mismatch suggests either a categorical tagging error in the sourcing system or that this code does not reflect actual state and local purchasing patterns for the services being solicited.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), multiple county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a regional health system (Santa Clara Health System). The geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, and California, with no concentration in a single region. Without meaningful alignment between the code's nominal definition and the work actually being bought, this code presents a pursuit risk for vendors in medical device, surgical intervention, or hospital procedure categories and warrants clarification of the code's intended scope before allocation of business development resources.
