UNSPSC 85502514: Restriction of face artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of face artery with intraluminal device, open 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 03VR0DZ

UNSPSC 85502514 Restriction of face artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code with a medical procedure focus, yet the code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the specific procedural intervention the code nominally describes (endovascular restriction of a facial artery). The mismatch suggests either inconsistent coding discipline at the issuing jurisdictions or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement systems are applying medical procedure codes in practice.

The issuing bodies span diverse governance structures: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension board administration), the City of Long Beach (municipal employee benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (state agency), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (county youth services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county employee benefits), and Santa Clara County Health System (county healthcare operations). Geographic representation includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The single opportunity most directly connected to surgical intervention — the City of Long Beach RFP 26753 for a surgical benefit carve-out program with Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, due October 7, 2026 — represents a benefit administration and network steerage model rather than direct procurement of a specific arterial restriction procedure. Given the absence of opportunities actually soliciting the procedural service described in the code name, vendors specializing in facial artery restriction devices or services should monitor this code with caution and verify coding alignment before pursuing individual opportunities.
