UNSPSC 85501511: Insertion of intraluminal device into intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into intracranial 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 03HG4DZ

UNSPSC 85501511 Insertion of intraluminal device into intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial misalignment between its nominal scope—a highly specific neurovascular surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve intracranial artery intervention or endoscopic procedures. The code is being applied to general occupational health, employee benefits administration, and contingent clinical staffing rather than to the interventional neurovascular work its name suggests, indicating either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a taxonomic mismatch between UNSPSC's clinical procedure focus and how municipalities, counties, and special districts classify health services contracting.

The issuing bodies span municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), county jurisdictions (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry terminals across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant concentration in any single state or region.
