UNSPSC 85502961: Reposition left temporal artery, 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 03ST3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502961 Reposition left temporal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are healthcare administration and clinical services contracts—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction—none of which involve vascular repositioning procedures or any surgical intervention. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification from a clinical coding system that state and local procurement offices have incorrectly applied to administrative and service-delivery contracts, creating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), and California (San Mateo County Health and Santa Monica Fire Department), with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. Because the code does not accurately describe the services being solicited, no reliable characterization of the issuing-body mix or procurement concentration under this code can be drawn from these records. Prospective vendors should verify code assignments with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85502961, as the current tagging suggests a data-entry error rather than a legitimate procurement category for state and local government buying.
