UNSPSC 85501719: Excision of left internal mammary artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 03B10ZZ

UNSPSC 85501719 Excision of left internal mammary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent postings tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the excision of an internal mammary artery. This represents a classification mismatch in the source data rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers.

The recent opportunities show no coherent market activity aligned with the code's technical scope. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), but the work they are posting under this code addresses administrative healthcare functions, staffing services, and benefit program management rather than any surgical procedure line. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code definition and the opportunities tagged to it, this code shows no reliable signal for pursuit or positioning.
