UNSPSC 85501641: Replacement of right subclavian artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right subclavian artery with autologous tissue substitute, 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 03R307Z

UNSPSC 85501641 Replacement of right subclavian artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical arterial replacement procedures. The code appears to be a procedural medical coding mismatch within state and local procurement systems. The issuing bodies in the recent records include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). These buyers are soliciting administrative medical services, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than surgical interventions.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001), which seeks medical record summarization and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825), covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code shows limited decision relevance for vendors offering surgical procedures or medical device services; the tagged opportunities signal either data quality issues in the state-local procurement coding system or a fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and how it is being applied in practice.
