UNSPSC 85503327: Occlusion of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, 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 03LT4CZ

UNSPSC 85503327 Occlusion of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular occlusion. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The opportunities posted do not match the procedural specificity of the code itself; instead, they address broader healthcare administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. State and local buyers including county health systems, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, and county commissioners are using this code designation to solicit services ranging from independent medical evaluation and occupational surveillance to specialty surgery networks and pharmacy administration—work that sits outside the narrow vascular-intervention domain the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either misclassification at the point of posting or a systemic coding practice that does not reserve this code for the specific procedure it names.

The geographic spread spans 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 Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code designation and the actual work being procured, the code appears unsuitable as a reliable filter for identifying relevant opportunities in this market segment.
