UNSPSC 85503277: Replacement of right temporal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right temporal artery with nonautologous 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 03RS4KZ

UNSPSC 85503277, Replacement of right temporal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — replacement of a temporal artery using synthetic tissue — but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve the procedure named in the code or the vascular surgical services it nominally represents.

The mismatch between the code's technical definition and actual buying activity suggests either miscoding in the source data or that state and local government procurement systems do not use this Commodity code for purchasing decisions in practice. The posted opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but they address administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management rather than surgical procedures. A vendor evaluating whether to pursue work under this code should treat the recent-opportunities block as a signal that the code is not a useful filter for state and local surgical or vascular services contracting.
