This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion 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 03LS3CZ

UNSPSC 85503012 Occlusion of right temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code assigned to healthcare service procurements by state and local governments, but the code shows a significant mismatch between its medical-device-procedure name and the actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities reveal that the code is being applied to occupational health and medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation and disability determination support, pharmacy benefit management, healthcare staffing placement, surgical center-of-excellence network curation, and youth detention medical care provision — a diverse range of administrative and clinical service delivery that bears no relationship to vascular occlusion procedures or device implantation. The scope of work under this code encompasses medical record review and summarization for disability benefits, occupational health examinations aligned with state safety regulations, temporary clinical staffing placement, specialty pharmacy management, and coordination of medical care in detention and municipal settings.

Recent opportunities have issued from Arizona municipal retirement boards, Washington State Departments of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County, Long Beach, and Santa Clara County Health System. The geographic footprint spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) offering a five-year, $750,000 contract for disability medical record summaries and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year initial term and option to extend five years; Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), a non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume; and Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence network management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, spine, orthopedic, cardiology, oncology, and weight-loss procedures through vetted providers. The code's assignment to these procurements appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy error rather than a legitimate categorization of vascular procedural work.
