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 035T4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503448 Destruction of left temporal artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the actual state and local procurement activity now tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability medical services, employee health benefit plan administration, and temporary healthcare staffing — none of which involve surgical procedures or vascular intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope; instead, the solicitations reflect a cataloging or tagging mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work being procured.

The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code cover independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP with October 16, 2026 proposal deadline); surgical procedure carve-out benefit networks for municipal employees (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026); occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026); emergency and specialty medical services for youth in county detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026); pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026); and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical disciplines (County of Santa Clara Health System, multiple-award pool, proposals due October 7, 2026). Activity spans state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical specificity and the breadth of occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing work actually being solicited, this code does not meaningfully segment purchasable goods or services in the state and local market.
