UNSPSC 85501441: Replacement of left vertebral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left vertebral artery with nonautologous 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 03RQ4KZ

UNSPSC 85501441 (Replacement of left vertebral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, and information-seeking for youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code. State and local procurement systems appear to have miscoded these health services opportunities to a highly specific procedural code rather than to appropriate health services administration, staffing, or benefit-management classifications.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the mislabeled opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Repeat buyer patterns or concentration cannot be identified from these disparate one-off solicitations. No recent opportunities meaningfully related to vertebral artery replacement surgery or comparable procedural codes appear in the source material. Prospective vendors should verify code alignment with state and local procurement offices before investing development effort under this classification.
