UNSPSC 85501501: Insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral artery, 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 03HQ4DZ

UNSPSC 85501501 Insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure (percutaneous endoscopic insertion of an intraluminal device into the left vertebral artery), yet the recent solicitations tagged under it involve independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the named procedure or match the anatomical specificity of the code itself.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the procurement activity it has been assigned suggests either a tagging error in the state and local database or use of this code as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement where more precise codes are unavailable. Firms pursuing state and local opportunities under this code should verify the actual work being solicited before submitting proposals, as the code provides minimal signal about current demand for intraluminal vascular device insertion specifically.
