UNSPSC 85501467: Occlusion of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, 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 03LQ4DZ

UNSPSC 85501467 Occlusion of left vertebral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific invasive cardiovascular procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the clinical procedure the code nominally names. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical carve-out benefit management for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth in county custody. None of these solicitations involve vertebral artery occlusion procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the issuing body level or that this code serves as a catch-all for medical evaluation and health services contracting in state and local procurement systems, regardless of clinical specificity.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office in Arizona (independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach, California (surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California (temporary health professional staffing qualification pool, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The absence of any recent solicitation for the actual clinical procedure named in the code, combined with the wide geographic and functional scatter of tagged opportunities, signals that this code should be monitored primarily for misdirected procurement volumes or re-evaluated for correct code assignment rather than pursued as a coherent procurement category.
