UNSPSC 85503009: Occlusion of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left 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 03LT3CZ

UNSPSC 85503009 Occlusion of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical taxonomy descriptor references a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve arterial occlusion devices. The mismatch suggests a code-assignment error in one or more source records rather than authentic buying activity under the stated Commodity code.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414) covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million. The code shows no coherent procurement pattern tied to its nominal scope.
