UNSPSC 85503620: Repair 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 03QY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503620 Repair upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical intervention procedure, but state and local governments tagging opportunities under this code are actually buying healthcare administration, occupational surveillance, and workforce staffing services—none of which involve arterial surgery.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span disability benefits administration (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), surgical benefit carve-out program management (City of Long Beach RFP for Centers of Excellence networks, due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for baseline and periodic examinations across ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI, due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County RFP for PBM administration, due April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for ancillary clinical positions, due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include county human resources and healthcare departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice, city retirement offices, and regional health systems. Geographic activity centers on California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona. The code appears to be a misapplication and does not reliably represent current state and local procurement under its nominal surgical scope.
