UNSPSC 85501473: Occlusion of right 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 right 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 03LP4BZ

UNSPSC 85501473, Occlusion of right vertebral artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal medical-device scope and the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations in the data block span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vertebral artery occlusion devices or the specific interventional procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either a miscategorization in state and local procurement databases or use of the code as a catch-all for medical-services activity without regard to the code's actual definition.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation and health systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and county commissioners offices (Collier County), reflecting typical state and local healthcare and benefits procurement. Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, this code presents little meaningful guidance for vendors pursuing the medical-device or interventional-procedure market through state and local channels. Firms focused on occupational health surveillance, benefits administration, or healthcare staffing may encounter this code in databases but should verify the actual statement of work in each RFP or RFQ rather than relying on the code designation.
