UNSPSC 85503074: Drainage of right temporal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 039S3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503074 Drainage of right temporal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve drainage of a right temporal artery or percutaneous vascular procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local system or a data-collection artifact. Across the six recent solicitations, state and local buyers are acquiring comprehensive medical administrative services, occupational health compliance, managed care logistics, and staffing arrangements rather than procedural interventions.

Issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), city human resources departments managing employee benefits (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no evident pattern of repeat procurement under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the pervasive mismatch between code definition and procurement scope, this code does not represent a reliable signal for business development targeting state and local medical procedure contracting.
