UNSPSC 85502735: Dilation of left temporal artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left temporal artery with intraluminal device, 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 037T0DZ

UNSPSC 85502735 Dilation of left temporal artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect instead independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with vascular surgery or intraluminal device placement. The mismatch suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health system administrative and staffing procurements that fall outside its intended scope.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code span county health systems (Santa Clara), county human services (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal pension administrators (City of Phoenix), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misapplication across these solicitations, this category warrants clarification before pursuing work under it.
