UNSPSC 85502250: Destruction of right internal mammary artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right internal mammary 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 03503ZZ

UNSPSC 85502250 Destruction of right internal mammary artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent solicitations in the source describe occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations for pension applicants, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve destruction of internal mammary arteries or percutaneous cardiovascular procedures. The code itself is a clinical procedure code drawn from medical taxonomy (likely ICD-10-PCS or similar), not a UNSPSC commodity or service classification. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit cardiovascular interventions at this procedural specificity; when they contract for medical services, they solicit management, administration, staffing, evaluation, or network development roles, as the recent opportunities show. This code shows a fundamental mismatch between the clinical procedure nomenclature and state and local contracting practice.

No relevant opportunities exist under this code in the source material. The misclassification suggests either a data-entry error in the procurement system or a misfiling of an unrelated medical-services opportunity that was tagged with an incorrect UNSPSC number. Firms pursuing state and local medical-services contracts should verify the actual UNSPSC coding of target opportunities rather than relying on this code as a navigator.
