UNSPSC 85501517: Extirpation of matter from intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 03CG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501517 Extirpation of matter from intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing minimal recent activity aligned with its neurosurgical scope in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly reflect occupational health and benefits administration services—medical record review, disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care carve-out programs—rather than the specialized intracranial procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing body level or a data classification artifact; the code does not appear to represent active state and local purchasing for the neurological intervention its name specifies.

The issuing bodies in the recent block span county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a state agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations align with intracranial arterial procedures. Vendors pursuing this code should verify classification accuracy with the issuing body before bid preparation, as the recent activity does not support a meaningful business development strategy under the code's stated scope.
