UNSPSC 85501469: Occlusion of left vertebral artery with bioactive 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 bioactive 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 03LQ4BZ

UNSPSC 85501469 Occlusion of left vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific interventional medical procedure involving vascular occlusion, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve medical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, pension board medical evaluations, and surgical care coordination — none of which align with the procedural service the code purports to describe. The mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in how opportunities are being tagged to this code or a significant gap between the code's nominal scope and how state and local procurement offices are actually using it.

The recent opportunities do reflect broader state and local purchasing in medical services and occupational health across multiple jurisdictions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with a response date of October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing with responses due October 7, 2026; and Collier County issued an RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services. Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with municipal, county, and state-level healthcare purchasing as the driver. However, none of these opportunities reflect procurement of the specific vascular intervention named in the code itself, making pursuit under this taxonomy code problematic without clarification from the issuing bodies or UNSPSC maintenance.
