UNSPSC 85501522: Excision of intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 03BG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501522, Excision of intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve intracranial surgical services; instead, they reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which match the code's specific clinical definition. This mismatch suggests the code is not currently active for state and local procurement of the procedure it names, or that tagging accuracy is misaligned with the solicitation scope.

The opportunities posted under this code over the past three months span diverse issuing bodies — a city retirement board, a city personnel department, a state transportation agency, a county juvenile probation department, a county board of commissioners, and a county health system — across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. However, because none of these solicitations actually solicit intracranial artery excision services or related surgical capabilities, the code does not represent a coherent procurement category in current state and local practice. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for competitive purposes pending clarification or correction of the tagging assignments.
