UNSPSC 85501437: Reposition right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 03SP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501437 Reposition right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the source. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code reflect healthcare administration, management, and support services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which constitute vertebral artery repositioning procedures or any comparable surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the solicited work suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied by these issuers and the code's intended use.

The recent opportunities span four states and multiple issuing bodies: Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Representative recent solicitations include RFP No. 26-0008 from Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, RFP 25-8414 from Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million, and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026. None of these opportunities involve the surgical procedure named in the code.
