UNSPSC 85501472: Occlusion of right vertebral artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right vertebral artery with extraluminal 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 03LP4CZ

UNSPSC 85501472, Occlusion of right vertebral artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that represents a highly specific procedural intervention. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal medical device or interventional scope. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve vertebral artery occlusion procedures or the devices used to perform them. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding within these procurement systems or that the code has been applied as a catch-all category for health-related services without regard to specificity. The issuing bodies are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—spanning municipal retirement administration, human resources, state transportation, juvenile detention, and county health operations.

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, reflecting activity across multiple regions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and scheduling of independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries locations (due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026) on a non-exclusive, no-guarantee basis. The code shows no clear concentration among repeat buyers and appears poorly suited to the actual healthcare procurement activity it nominally describes.
