UNSPSC 85501736: Dilation of right subclavian artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right subclavian artery with drug-eluting intraluminal 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 037304Z

UNSPSC 85501736 Dilation of right subclavian artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The six recent opportunities solicited under this code span independent medical evaluation services, health plan surgery benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve vascular intervention procedures or implantable devices. The code's nominal scope (a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure) bears no relationship to what state and local governments are actually buying under it. This appears to reflect either a classification error in the source data or a systematic mismatch between the UNSPSC assignment and the procuring agencies' actual service needs.

The issuing bodies span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, acting through Washington State Ferries), county governments and health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability determinations due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, vendors evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification against specific opportunities rather than relying on the code name as a reliable descriptor of procurement activity.
