UNSPSC 85501505: Insertion of stimulator lead into left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of stimulator lead into left internal carotid 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 03HL4MZ

UNSPSC 85501505 Insertion of stimulator lead into left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's technical name describes a specific neurovascular interventional procedure, yet the state and local opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency youth detention medical services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical care networks — none of which align with the insertion of a carotid-artery stimulator lead. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for broader medical service procurements rather than the discrete procedural service its name denotes.

The recent opportunities that do appear span multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation RFP), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out RFP), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance RFP), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services RFI), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management RFP), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing RFQ). No single buyer or geographic region dominates; the opportunities are geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing work under this UNSPSC designation, as the actual procurements do not track the commodity's stated clinical definition.
