UNSPSC 85503011: Occlusion of right temporal artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right temporal artery with intraluminal 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 03LS3DZ

UNSPSC 85503011 Occlusion of right temporal artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves vascular interventional procedures or medical devices. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and the procurement activity it has been assigned. State and local buyers are using this code to tag healthcare administration, medical management, and occupational health services, not procedural or device-based medical work. The issuing bodies include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county commissioners' offices — a mix spanning workforce health, benefits administration, and detention healthcare.

The recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 (due 16 October 2026) for independent medical evaluation services and medical record summarization supporting disability pension determinations, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP RFP20260825 (due 9 October 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, with evaluations weighted 40 percent on cost and 60 percent on non-cost capability factors. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 (due 7 October 2026) for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures across approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. Collier County Procurement Services issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with a historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million and a contract term of three years with two optional one-year renewals. The code's recent activity is sparse and poorly aligned with its stated scope, suggesting limited relevance to firms pursuing medical device, procedural, or vascular intervention opportunities in the state and local market.
