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 03QQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501456 Repair left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose scope nominally describes a specific surgical repair procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not procure surgical services or orthopedic/vascular repair work. Instead, the opportunities solicit healthcare management and administrative services including comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction. The issuing bodies are county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and Santa Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), with no school districts, transit authorities, or state departments represented in the recent posting block. The code shows significant activity mismatch — the UNSPSC category label does not align with the health services and care coordination work state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under this code number.

Recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026; due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026; due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; Monroe County, Florida Board of County Commissioners RFP (posted March 14, 2026; due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members; San Mateo County Health BHRS RFP No. 2025-007 (posted February 25, 2026; due July 2, 2025) for peer support services with $580,000 in total funding; and Santa Monica Fire Department RFP 455 (posted February 25, 2026; due October 16, 2025) for fire department medical director services. The geographic concentration spans Florida, Georgia, and California with no identifiable pattern suggesting this code is the appropriate vehicle for surgical procedure procurement in state and local markets.
