UNSPSC 85502507: Restriction of left temporal artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left temporal 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 03VT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502507 Restriction of left temporal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect no surgical or clinical procedures but rather health services contracting: inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical intervention—and the work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies classify healthcare services contracts. No meaningful activity exists under this code for the surgical procedure the code name describes.

The recent opportunities do reveal broad-based health and behavioral health services procurement across county-level issuing bodies in Florida and Georgia, including Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care), San Mateo County Health (peer support services), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services). Geographic spread spans California, Florida, and Georgia, with response dates concentrated between March and July 2026. However, because these solicitations are tagged to a surgical-procedure code that bears no relationship to the healthcare administration and services delivery work actually being procured, this code carries no signal value for business development purposes. Bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services contracts in their target jurisdictions rather than rely on this coding.
