This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in upper artery, external 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 03WYXJZ

UNSPSC 85503503 Revision of synthetic substitute in upper artery, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure—revision of a synthetic arterial graft via external approach—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve vascular graft revision or related orthopedic or cardiovascular implant procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or a data-quality issue within the state and local procurement system; the code does not capture work state and local governments are actually buying.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—and span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of the solicitations describe procurement of medical devices, implants, surgical supplies, or procedure-related services that would logically fall under the vascular graft revision code. The source provides no evidence of recent state and local contracting activity for the commodity named in UNSPSC 85503503. Firms evaluating this code should not pursue activity under the current tagging; the code warrants administrative review for classification accuracy.
