UNSPSC 85501660: Release right internal mammary artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right internal mammary 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 03N00ZZ

UNSPSC 85501660 Release right internal mammary artery, open approach (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local purchasing activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the five recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code between February and April 2026 solicit services entirely unrelated to cardiac surgery: inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these opportunities involve the release of internal mammary arteries or any operative cardiac intervention.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the services actually being bought signals either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or a data-classification error upstream. State and local procurement offices in Georgia, Florida, and California posted these opportunities, but they are not pursuing surgical services under this code. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for surgical contracting purposes and investigate whether the issuing bodies involved (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) are using alternative UNSPSC codes for any clinical services procurement or whether these opportunities were misclassified at the source.
