UNSPSC 85502336: Replacement of left subclavian artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left subclavian artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 03R44KZ

UNSPSC 85502336 Replacement of left subclavian artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this classification across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida are soliciting independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, Centers of Excellence carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these opportunities involve subclavian artery replacement or the procedural clinical work the code's name suggests. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that UNSPSC 85502336 functions as a catch-all administrative code for health services procurement rather than a surgical-procedure classifier.

The issuing bodies are diverse: county human resources departments and pension boards (Phoenix, Collier County, Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and municipal health systems (Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) valued at $750,000 over five years and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (258414) historically encompasses $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending, while Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing established a five-year qualified-vendor pool. The code shows no recent activity that maps to actual surgical implant procurement or device supply; state and local buyers using this classification are procuring administrative and occupational health services rather than the procedural intervention the code nominally represents.
