UNSPSC 85501436: Reposition left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left 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 03SQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501436 Reposition left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare management and administration services—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction—rather than any surgical intervention or procedural repositioning. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), procuring ongoing healthcare delivery, benefits administration, and medical oversight contracts rather than discrete surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or reflects a data quality issue in the source taxonomy.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), representing scattered county and municipal procurement rather than concentrated or repeated activity under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, current contract value $95,537.71 monthly), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). Given the apparent mismatch between code scope and actual procurement substance, this code does not represent a reliable procurement vehicle for business development purposes in state and local healthcare contracting.
