UNSPSC 85501426: Supplement right vertebral artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right vertebral artery with autologous tissue 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 03UP47Z

UNSPSC 85501426 (Supplement right vertebral artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure performed by healthcare providers, but recent opportunities solicited under this code are administrative and management services unrelated to the procedural intervention the code names. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is purchasing a surgical carve-out benefit program and Centers of Excellence network management; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is requesting specialty medical services for detained youth; and Collier County is soliciting pharmacy benefit management. None of these solicitations involve vertebral artery supplementation, autologous tissue substitution, or endoscopic surgical approaches. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual purchasing suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or data alignment issues in the source itself.

State and local activity under this code spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas across multiple issuing body types—city retirement offices, municipal health departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices—but none of the work reflects the code's stated scope. The geographic spread and diversity of issuing bodies does not offset the fundamental disconnect: the code does not describe any of the services being purchased in these recent solicitations.
