UNSPSC 85501462: Release right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 03NP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501462 Release right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the vertebral artery procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests that either the opportunities were miscoded or the code is not actively used by state and local buyers for the procedure it nominally describes. No concrete evidence in the source supports sustained or meaningful procurement activity under this Commodity code in the state and local market.

The few opportunities that do appear under this code reflect fragmented and geographically dispersed demand across health service administration and management rather than procedural medical services. Issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and Santa Mateo County in California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), with no pattern of repeat buyers or sector concentration. The representative opportunities—such as the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, and Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP due April 9, 2026—confirm that the code is serving as a catch-all classification for healthcare administration and employee health services rather than surgical interventions. Business developers should treat this code as inactive for its nominal scope and verify any future opportunities against the actual scope of work before investing pursuit resources.
