UNSPSC 85502217: Excision of right subclavian artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right subclavian artery, percutaneous 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 03B33ZZ

UNSPSC 85502217 Excision of right subclavian artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities tagged to it cover independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve excision of subclavian arteries or any surgical procedures performed on patients. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of opportunities in the state and local procurement database or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy entry and actual purchasing patterns under this code.

No state and local government contract opportunities for excision of right subclavian artery procedures, percutaneous approach, appear in the recent posting record. The opportunities currently indexed to this code span healthcare administration, benefits management, occupational health screening, and temporary staffing — service categories that fall outside the procedural scope the code nominally describes. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their intended service line before pursuing work tagged to 85502217, as the current tagging does not reflect actual demand in the marketplace.
