UNSPSC 85501725: Drainage of innominate artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of innominate 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 03920ZZ

UNSPSC 85501725 Drainage of innominate artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefits plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these represent drainage of an innominate artery or related vascular surgery. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the work its name describes.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this surgical procedure code to broader health services procurement in error, or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services without precision. State and local buyers pursuing contracts in occupational health screening, disability medical record review, employee health benefit administration, or clinical staffing should verify the actual scope of work in each RFP or RFQ rather than relying on UNSPSC code alignment. The geographic spread of these mismatched opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but the code itself is not a reliable guide to procurement in any of these jurisdictions.
