UNSPSC 85501484: Occlusion of intracranial artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of intracranial 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 03LG4CZ

UNSPSC 85501484 Occlusion of intracranial artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in practice does not map to current state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific neurosurgical procedure — does not align with any of the six recent state and local solicitations tagged under it, which instead cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC coding practice and the clinical procedure named in the code definition.

The recent opportunities show no coherent purchasing pattern under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP (due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County posted an RFP (deadline April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool (due October 7, 2026) for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across audiology, cardiology, radiology, gastroenterology, and other specialties. These solicitations span administrative health services, network management, occupational health, detention healthcare, pharmaceutical administration, and clinical staffing — none of which relate to intracranial arterial occlusion procedures. State and local procurement under this code warrants closer review to determine whether the coding reflects actual purchasing behavior or represents a data integrity issue.
