UNSPSC 85503616: Reposition upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 03SY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503616 Reposition upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect surgical intervention services. Instead, the opportunities cluster around occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, employee health benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of vascular surgical repositioning. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation requests occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers; Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing; and the City of Long Beach is procuring surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors whose core competency is vascular or cardiovascular surgery.

The geographic footprint spans California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with individual opportunities isolated to specific jurisdictions rather than concentrated in a single region or issuing-body category. Issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems, city retirement and procurement offices, and county probation departments — a fragmented purchasing environment with no apparent repeat buyers under this code in the recent opportunity set. The Phoenix RFP 26001 (due October 16, 2026) and WSDOT RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) represent the largest and most defined scopes, but neither involves surgical services procurement. Given the disconnect between the code's technical name and the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it, this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for vascular surgical intervention.
