UNSPSC 85503356: Insertion of intraluminal device into right temporal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into right temporal 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 03HS4DZ

UNSPSC 85503356 Insertion of intraluminal device into right temporal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no activity matching its nominal scope in recent state and local procurement. The code appears designed to classify a specific surgical procedure — the percutaneous endoscopic placement of an intraluminal device into the right temporal artery — yet the six most recent solicitations tagged under it soliciting medical and healthcare services include independent disability medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, specialty and emergency medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing for multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involves insertion of intraluminal devices or any procedure targeting the temporal artery.

The mismatch between code and actual procurement intent signals either a data-quality issue in how opportunities are being classified or a systematic misapplication of the code in state and local procurement systems. No representative recent opportunities align with the code's stated scope. State and local procurement professionals should verify code accuracy with their respective procurement offices before pursuing contracts under this classification.
