UNSPSC 85501536: Dilation of right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right vertebral 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 037P4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501536 Dilation of right vertebral artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that sits within a clinical taxonomy but shows no relevant recent state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which correspond to the specific vascular intervention named in the code's descriptor. State and local buyers do not solicit percutaneous endoscopic dilation of vertebral arteries as a standalone procurement line item; such procedures are elements of broader healthcare service contracts, insurance benefit designs, or clinical staffing arrangements, not direct procurement commodities.

The code shows little decision relevance for business development professionals pursuing state and local contracts. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual work being bought under it suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the medical taxonomy and how state and local healthcare procurement is structured. Buyers in this space issue RFPs for medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-outs (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty services (Harris County), pharmacy administration (Collier County), and staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System), none of which involve direct procurement of a specific vascular procedure. Monitor the code for future activity, but expect that relevant state and local opportunities will be tagged under broader healthcare service family or class codes rather than under this commodity-level clinical procedure code.
