UNSPSC 85503276: Replacement of left temporal artery with autologous tissue 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 autologous tissue 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 03RT47Z

UNSPSC 85503276 Replacement of left temporal artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal description does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations for vascular surgical procedures or implantable tissue substitutes. Instead, the six recent opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. The code shows little relevant activity in state and local procurement and appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities by issuing bodies.

The geographic spread of these unrelated opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Cities of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies are municipal retirement offices, cities, counties, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county health systems — a broad cross-section of state and local public entities managing employee benefits, occupational health, detention healthcare, and clinical workforce needs. None of these solicitations involve the vascular reconstruction procedure named in the code, and the mismatch between the code and the actual work being bought makes this code unreliable as a source for related opportunity intelligence.
