UNSPSC 85503108: Dilation of left temporal artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left 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 037T3DZ

UNSPSC 85503108 Dilation of left temporal artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that exhibits minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure—percutaneous dilation of the left temporal artery using an intraluminal device—yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve temporal artery dilation or represent the procedural intervention the code's name describes. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the breadth of healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or a data-quality issue within the state and local procurement systems using this taxonomy.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (statewide ferry system operations). Washington State Department of Transportation issued a medical surveillance RFP on August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026, covering occupational examinations across 14 ferry locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a contract maximum of $750,000 over five years. The absence of temporal artery procedures or related interventional vascular work in any recent opportunity suggests this code does not reflect genuine procurement demand in state and local markets and should be considered inactive or systematically misapplied.
