UNSPSC 85503115: Dilation of face artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of face artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous 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 037R34Z

UNSPSC 85503115 Dilation of face artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific cardiovascular interventional procedure, but the six recent solicitations from state and local bodies show no procurement activity for that service or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services in juvenile detention, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve face artery dilation procedures or drug-eluting intraluminal devices. The code appears to be a data-quality or classification artifact rather than an active procurement category at the state and local level.

The mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement systems have either misapplied the code or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry itself does not reflect how jurisdictions use this code in practice. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify code assignments directly with issuing bodies before responding to any opportunities tagged with 85503115.
