UNSPSC 85502912: Restriction of right temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous 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 03VS3CZ

UNSPSC 85502912 Restriction of right temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal clinical scope. The code's description names a specific vascular surgical intervention, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve temporal artery restriction procedures or device placement. This mismatch signals either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement outside its intended commodity focus.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum $750,000 five-year contract), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The absence of a coherent procurement pattern around the stated commodity — combined with work spanning employee benefits administration, occupational health compliance, forensic pension evaluation, and clinical staffing — suggests this code warrants careful pre-bid clarification or recoding before committing bid resources.
