UNSPSC 85503053: Extirpation of matter from right temporal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 03CS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503053 Extirpation of matter from right temporal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity documented in recent opportunities. The code's medical-procedure specificity describes a clinical intervention, but the recent solicitations tagged under it reflect healthcare program administration, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve extirpation of matter from arterial structures. State and local governments are not procuring this procedure as a standalone service; instead, the underlying opportunities address workforce occupational health, employee benefit management, emergency healthcare access in detention settings, and healthcare staffing logistics. The issuing bodies include county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county boards seeking to manage healthcare delivery and employee benefits rather than to execute or commission specific surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentrated geographic activity. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP, response due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out program management for employees and retirees through Centers of Excellence (RFP, response due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department released an RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (response due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 7,200 covered lives with historical annual spend of $8.7 million (RFP, response due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System built a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories (RFP, response due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a data-taxonomy mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement channel.
