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 shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code is nominally surgical—a procedure to reposition an upper artery using an open surgical technique—yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code are procurement solicitations for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve surgical repositioning of arteries or align with the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or an artifact in the data collection process rather than genuine demand for the surgical procedure itself under state and local procurement.

The code shows no recent activity in states or jurisdictions where this surgical service would typically be procured by state health systems, correctional health networks, or hospital systems. The geographic and issuing-body diversity reflected in the recent opportunities—Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California, and Santa Monica Fire Department in California—does not indicate meaningful procurement of artery repositioning services. Vendors should treat this code as dormant for state and local business development purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
