UNSPSC 85521466: Occlusion of right vertebral vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right vertebral vein with extraluminal device, 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 05LR4CZ

UNSPSC 85521466 Occlusion of right vertebral vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve vertebral vein occlusion procedures or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the sourced opportunities or a fundamental divergence between the code's clinical nomenclature and state and local procurement classification practice.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope. Prospective bidders evaluating this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classification for medical procedure work in their target jurisdictions before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged under 85521466, as the tagged opportunities appear to reflect administrative health services, staffing, and benefit management rather than a specific surgical procedure line item.
