UNSPSC 85501663: Occlusion of left subclavian artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left subclavian artery with extraluminal device, 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 03L40CZ

UNSPSC 85501663 Occlusion of left subclavian artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity — describing a single surgical procedure for vascular intervention — does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this code classification. Those solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent procurement of the implantable device or surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or systematic tagging drift within state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System — reflecting activity across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Geographic concentration is absent; activity is geographically dispersed across multiple states and vendor types (medical evaluation firms, benefits consultants, occupational health providers, hospital networks, pharmacy managers, and staffing agencies). Without representative opportunities that actually procure the device or procedure named in the code, pursue of this code is not advisable. The code does not appear to support meaningful state and local procurement for vascular implants or open surgical interventions.
