UNSPSC 85503610: Restriction of upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of upper artery, open 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 03VY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503610 Restriction of upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code showing no meaningful alignment between its clinical procedure taxonomy and the state and local procurement opportunities tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve surgical restriction of arteries or operative vascular procedures. The source reflects a fundamental mismatch: the code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention, but the opportunities demonstrate state and local governments using the code tag to solicit comprehensive healthcare administration, management, and primary care delivery services that fall far outside the code's clinical scope.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia; Collier County and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code. Geographic activity includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows recent activity but appears to be incorrectly tagged for the work actually being procured; procurement professionals should verify coding against their internal opportunity tracking systems rather than rely on this code's nominal definition to identify relevant healthcare service opportunities.
