UNSPSC 85502100: Principal arteries chest or thorax, percutaneous approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the chest or thorax with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85502100 Principal arteries chest or thorax, percutaneous approach-part A is a Class code that in practice shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedural nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve percutaneous intervention on principal thoracic arteries. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or mismatched to the actual procurement scope, and it does not reflect a coherent commodity or service line that state and local buyers are actively pursuing as a distinct category.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include county government (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and special-purpose districts (Washington State Ferries). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year ceiling and October 16, 2026 deadline (RTMRFP26001); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure centers of excellence due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). Activity is scattered across Arizona, California, and Washington, with no concentration pattern evident. The code's lack of coherent recent procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by posting agencies or that this particular clinical procedure code does not map to a meaningful state and local procurement category; business development professionals should verify actual scope through source RFPs rather than relying on the code classification.
