UNSPSC 85503331: Occlusion of face artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of face artery, 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 03LR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503331 Occlusion of face artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect no work in vascular intervention or endoscopic surgery. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve arterial occlusion procedures or percutaneous approaches. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is not currently a functional procurement category in the state and local market.

The geographic spread across the visible opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), but the diversity reflects data-entry inconsistency rather than genuine market activity under this code. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for healthcare services contracting purposes and verify with issuing jurisdictions whether opportunities are being tagged correctly before committing pursuit resources.
