This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left subclavian artery, 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 03V40ZZ

UNSPSC 85501601 Restriction of left subclavian artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — the restriction of the left subclavian artery using an open surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect institutional healthcare administration and service procurement, not surgical interventions or clinical procedures. The five recent opportunities record competitive procurements for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations concern the surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

No state and local governments are currently soliciting the work this code names. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure scope and the administrative-services character of the tagged opportunities suggests either a cataloging error in how these procurements were classified, or a use of the code to describe a broader family of healthcare contracting where the specific surgical procedure is not the primary or direct object of purchase. The code shows no recent geographic concentration, no repeat issuing bodies, and no representative opportunities that map to restriction of the left subclavian artery. Procurement professionals evaluating this code for business development should treat it as inactive for purposes of direct service delivery and flag the classification disconnect with the issuing jurisdictions.
