UNSPSC 85501507: Insertion of infusion device 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 infusion device 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 03HL43Z

UNSPSC 85501507 Insertion of infusion device into left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous endoscopic insertion of an infusion device into the left internal carotid artery — but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention the code describes.

The mismatch reflects a common state and local coding error rather than actual demand under this code. State and local procurement offices occasionally apply procedure or diagnosis codes from healthcare classification systems (such as CPT or ICD-10) to opportunities that fall outside the specific clinical intervention named in the code. Business development professionals pursuing state and local healthcare opportunities should treat UNSPSC 85501507 as inactive for procurement purposes and instead track relevant healthcare staffing, benefits administration, and occupational health codes within the 85-series family.
