UNSPSC 85503281: Replacement of face artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of face 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 03RR4JZ

UNSPSC 85503281 Replacement of face artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code show no procurement activity related to surgical replacement of facial arteries or any clinical procedures. Instead, the code appears to capture administrative healthcare and staffing services — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational health surveillance programs, surgical care network management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services coordination for detainees. The mismatch suggests a data-classification error rather than a meaningful market signal for surgical interventions.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative current solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington State ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). This code shows no coherent procurement pattern aligned with its nominal scope and is unlikely to be a reliable indicator of procurement opportunity in facial artery replacement or related surgical services.
