UNSPSC 85521325: Destruction of intracranial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of intracranial vein, 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 055L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521325 Destruction of intracranial vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 soliciting under or near this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve intracranial vein destruction procedures or percutaneous interventional neurosurgery services. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure rather than a procurement category that state and local buyers regularly aggregate into solicitations, and the mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually appearing in recent RFPs suggests this code does not map to active state and local contracting patterns.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—pension boards, municipal HR departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county healthcare consortiums, and county health systems in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas—but none of them purchase the procedural service the code nominally describes. Bidders evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are actively classifying intracranial procedures under this UNSPSC tag or whether healthcare purchasing in this domain uses alternative taxonomies or vendor relationships (such as hospital networks or surgical center master service agreements) that bypass commodity-level coding altogether.
