UNSPSC 85502572: Replacement of right thyroid artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right thyroid artery with synthetic 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 03RU0JZ

UNSPSC 85502572 Replacement of right thyroid artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent-opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent state and local solicitations posted under this code across 2026 solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve thyroid arterial replacement or the surgical procedure the code name specifies. This represents a classification mismatch between the code assigned and the work actually being bought.

No state and local procurement opportunities reflecting the actual scope of UNSPSC 85502572 as named appear in the recent-opportunities block. The solicitations tagged to this code cover broader health services contracting — evaluation, surveillance, staffing, and benefits administration — rather than specific surgical procedures. Buyers include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a city benefits purchaser (City of Long Beach), but none are purchasing the procedure described by the code. Until the classification mismatch is resolved or procurement activity genuinely matching thyroid arterial replacement procedures appears in state and local notices, this code presents no actionable opportunity signal.
