UNSPSC 85501740: Dilation of left internal mammary artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 03710ZZ

UNSPSC 85501740 Dilation of left internal mammary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local procurement activity. The code is a clinical procedural taxonomy entry for a specific cardiac surgical intervention, not a procurement category for goods or services that state and local governments buy. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect no dilation of internal mammary arteries; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procedure named in the code.

The mismatch signals either a data-entry error in the state or local procurement system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these issuing bodies have classified their health services contracts. No actual procurement under UNSPSC 85501740 is evident in the recent opportunity record. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contract pursuit and investigate whether the underlying health services opportunities (medical evaluations, occupational surveillance, staffing, and benefit administration) are tagged under alternative UNSPSC codes that more accurately reflect their scope.
