This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper artery with synthetic 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 03RY0JZ

UNSPSC 85503618 Replacement of upper artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the sourced opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure using specific medical devices in a clinical setting, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code cover occupational and administrative medical services, pharmacy benefit management, health plan administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical arterial replacement or device procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure carve-out network management for employee health plans; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. These opportunities span municipal retirement administration, state transportation agencies, and county health systems, but they do not align with the code's scope of arterial surgical procedures or device procurement.

Geographic activity across the recent opportunities appears concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with one Harris County, Texas solicitation for youth detention medical services. The source provides no additional recent opportunities clearly aligned with the code's nominal definition of upper artery replacement surgery. Until state and local agencies use this code for actual surgical device procurement, arterial implant inventory, or related clinical supply chains, the code does not represent an active or decision-relevant opportunity for business development under its stated scope.
