UNSPSC 85501445: Replacement of right vertebral artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 03RP4JZ

UNSPSC 85501445 Replacement of right vertebral artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure on a named anatomical site, yet the six recent state and local contract opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pension disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve vertebral artery replacement or the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement more broadly.

The sourced opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human services (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), and city retirement offices (Phoenix), with geographic representation in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No state or local government entity has posted a procurement that actually solicits vertebral artery replacement implants, related devices, surgical components, or procedure-specific clinical protocols. Given the specificity of the code's nominal scope and the complete absence of aligned solicitations in the recent opportunity set, this code is not a viable pursuit avenue for firms offering vascular or orthopedic surgical products or services.
