UNSPSC 85501708: Insertion of infusion device into left internal mammary artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left 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 03H103Z

UNSPSC 85501708 Insertion of infusion device into left internal mammary artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal medical-procedure title does not align with the actual state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The source contains no solicitations for invasive cardiac or vascular surgical procedures matching the code's description. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, medical evaluation services for pension determinations, and surgical care networks for government employees — none of which involve insertion of infusion devices into coronary arteries. The disconnect suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these issuing bodies classify health services. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The recent opportunities do reveal that state and local buyers are actively procuring upstream health administration, occupational medicine, and network-management services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public-safety disability determinations (response deadline October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending near $8.7 million (deadline April 9, 2026). These solicitations span Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. If the code assignment reflects a labeling error, buyers should verify the actual UNSPSC family or class under which health-services contracting occurs in their target jurisdictions.
