UNSPSC 85502739: Dilation of right temporal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right temporal artery with drug-eluting 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 037S04Z

UNSPSC 85502739 Dilation of right temporal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are requesting independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve dilation of temporal arteries or implantable medical devices. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all for health-related services broadly, making the code unreliable for identifying actual procurement intent in this commodity family.

The issuing bodies include county health systems and pension boards, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners—a mix across health administration, occupational health, benefits management, and detention health. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026 for $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFP, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating recent postings. Given the consistent miscoding and absence of opportunities that match the code's stated clinical scope, this code should not be used to prospect for opportunities in vascular interventional procedures or implantable device contracts.
