UNSPSC 85501417: Restriction of intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of intracranial 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 03VG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501417 Restriction of intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being procured under this code in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but the recent opportunities block shows no procurement related to intracranial artery restriction services or neurosurgery. Instead, recent activity tagged to this code includes disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — services unrelated to the code's stated scope. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to classify health services broadly rather than the specific procedure named in the code definition.

The recent opportunities do show health-services procurement across multiple issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million and an initial three-year contract term. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. The geographic spread spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the disconnect between code scope and actual procurement activity, this code warrants review for accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
