UNSPSC 85501425: Supplement right vertebral artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right vertebral artery with synthetic substitute, 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 03UP4JZ

UNSPSC 85501425 Supplement right vertebral artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code from medical billing nomenclature (ICD-10-PCS), but the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve vertebral artery supplementation or percutaneous endoscopic vascular intervention. The mismatch indicates that state and local procurement offices have incorrectly applied this code to health services and benefits administration work rather than to the specific vascular surgical procedure the code describes.

The recent solicitations span multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include an RFP from Phoenix for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; an RFP from Long Beach for a surgery benefit carve-out program for the Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan due October 7, 2026; an RFP from WSDOT for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and an RFQ from Santa Clara Health System for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. This code does not represent actual state and local procurement for vertebral artery supplementation and carries no decision-relevant signal for vendors pursuing surgical procedure supply or vascular intervention services.
