UNSPSC 85501461: Release left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 03NQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501461 Release left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The five posted opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platform services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which directly involve the vertebral artery release procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement taxonomy to encompass broader healthcare service procurement that does not map to the procedure-specific clinical language of the code name.

The issuers include a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a county health board (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity centers on Florida, Georgia, and California; no recent opportunities outside those states appear in the source. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spend (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services effective October 1, 2026 (due April 16, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement pattern; use caution before bidding under this code without explicit confirmation from the issuing body that it matches the intended scope of work.
