This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement upper artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03UY0KZ

UNSPSC 85503613 Supplement upper artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving arterial tissue replacement, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with procurement of vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests the code was applied erroneously to these opportunities by the issuing bodies or the data source, and state and local governments are not actively soliciting under this code for its stated purpose.

The recent opportunities show no geographic concentration or repeat issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits under a PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued a Request for Information for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, proposal deadline April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code warrants exclusion from active-pursuit tracking given the disconnect between its stated scope and actual procurement demand.
