UNSPSC 85501502: Insertion of infusion 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 infusion 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 03HQ43Z

UNSPSC 85501502 Insertion of infusion device into left vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific clinical procedure — percutaneous endoscopic insertion of an infusion device into the left vertebral artery — yet the recent opportunities tagged to it reflect diverse health service categories unrelated to this procedural scope: disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, detention youth healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve infusion-device insertion or vertebral artery procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder within state and local procurement systems that do not differentiate granular clinical procedures.

The recent opportunities originate from municipal and county health entities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit programs, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, proposals due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, historical annual spending approximately $8.7 million), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFQ due October 7, 2026). Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though the geographic spread reflects issuing bodies pursuing benefit administration, occupational health compliance, and workforce staffing rather than procedural medical devices. The code offers limited commercial value for vendors focused on infusion-device manufacturing or distribution.
