UNSPSC 85502535: Supplement right thyroid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right thyroid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03UU0KZ

UNSPSC 85502535 Supplement right thyroid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that reflects a highly specialized surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — represent general healthcare administration, employee benefits management, mental health services, and emergency medical services oversight. None of these solicitations involve thyroid artery supplementation or any surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or data upload errors; the code sees no recent activity that reflects its actual medical specialty scope.

The issuing bodies include county procurement offices (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and Santa Mateo County in California), a city fire department (Santa Monica), and county behavioral health agencies. Geographic activity spans the Southeast and West Coast, with particular concentration in Florida and California. If practitioners encounter this code in state and local procurement systems, the current activity pool offers no decision-relevant signals for vendors in surgical supply, medical devices, or procedural services — review the actual solicitation details before investing in pursuit.
