UNSPSC 85503275: Replacement of left temporal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left temporal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 03RT4JZ

UNSPSC 85503275 Replacement of left temporal artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this tag. The recent opportunities show no vascular surgery or cardiovascular procedure procurement matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are using this code to solicit health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve surgical artery replacement. The mismatch between the code's name and the recent solicitations suggests either a widespread tagging error by state and local procurement offices or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and health-services purchasing practice in this jurisdiction sample.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with posting dates clustered in late August through mid-September 2026 and response deadlines in October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, targeting go-live April 1, 2027), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, no guaranteed work). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated function; vendors pursuing opportunities under this tag should verify the correct commodity classification with the issuing body's procurement office before bid development.
