This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from 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 03PY0DZ

UNSPSC 85503624 Removal of intraluminal device from upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure rather than a product or service line state and local governments procure. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a systematic mismatch: none of the identified solicitations involve vascular surgery, intraluminal device removal, or open arterial procedures. The City of Phoenix is soliciting independent medical evaluation and disability record-summary services for pension boards; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence for elective procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation is contracting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County is seeking emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System is building a temporary health professional staffing pool across ancillary clinical categories. None involves the specific procedural code's clinical scope.

The code shows no genuine recent activity aligned with its stated procedure definition. The opportunities present reflect either systematic tagging error or a code misalignment in the state and local procurement classification system. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify whether state and local RFPs are genuinely soliciting vascular surgical services or whether the UNSPSC tagging is incorrect before investing in pursuit strategy.
