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 03QS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502604 Repair right temporal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical services or hospital-based medical interventions. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of managed healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support programs for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vascular surgical repair. The code appears to have been misapplied to healthcare administration and occupational health contracting rather than surgical procedures. State and local governments are not currently soliciting surgical repair services under this designation.

The recent opportunities span three states: Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government / Muscogee County Prison), and California (San Mateo County). Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, consolidated city-county governments, county health departments, and municipal fire departments. No geographic concentration emerges from the available records, and no single jurisdiction appears as a repeat buyer under this code. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the healthcare services actually being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing surgical or hospital-based medical contracts. Business development professionals should verify that opportunities posted under this code match their actual service offerings before investing pursuit resources.
