UNSPSC 85502962: Reposition right temporal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 03SS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502962 Reposition right temporal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC tag do not involve surgical repositioning of arteries. Instead, the opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the procedural scope the code name suggests. The mismatch between the code's nominal title and the actual goods or services being procured indicates either miscoding in the source system or a significant gap between UNSPSC taxonomy and current state and local purchasing practice in this category.

The issuing bodies include a county prison system (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county human resources and health benefits consortium (Collier County, Florida), a county employee health plan (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California, with opportunities ranging from comprehensive inmate healthcare contracts to virtual care platforms to specialized behavioral health services. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, covering intake screening, chronic care management, and formulary services for a 576-inmate facility, and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services due April 9, 2026, covering eligibility, claims processing, and cost containment for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. Given the procedural nature of the UNSPSC code and the operational healthcare focus of the actual opportunities, this code does not appear to be an effective vehicle for tracking state and local procurement in healthcare administration or services.
