UNSPSC 85503130: Destruction of left temporal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 035T3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503130 Destruction of left temporal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (destruction of a specific arterial segment via minimally invasive access), but state and local governments do not procure this as a discrete line item; instead, they purchase healthcare services, staffing, medical benefits administration, and occupational health programs that may encompass such procedures as part of broader clinical scope.

Recent state and local solicitations tagged to or near this code reflect healthcare contracting at the program and service-delivery level: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation is contracting occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities target arterial destruction procedures specifically. The code appears to be a billing or diagnostic taxonomy entry misaligned with state and local procurement structures, which organize health purchasing around benefit design, clinical network management, staffing models, and program administration rather than individual procedural codes.
