UNSPSC 85503061: Excision of left temporal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 03BT3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503061 Excision of left temporal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The five most recent state and local contract postings under this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve excision of temporal arteries or the procedural medical services the code purports to describe. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a use of the code to tag broader healthcare procurement activity that falls outside its intended commodity scope.

Without solicitations that actually procure the service named in the code, no issuing-body mix, geographic pattern, or representative procedural opportunities can be credibly characterized. The tagged opportunities originate from diverse jurisdictions—Muscogee County and Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California, and the City of Santa Monica in California—but they represent procurement for healthcare administration, management, and oversight rather than surgical procedures. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes unless future opportunities align the tagged work with the code's actual commodity definition.
