UNSPSC 85503630: Release 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 03NY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503630 Release upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for arterial release through an open surgical approach, yet the five most recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve upper artery release procedures or operative interventions matching the code's clinical descriptor. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health services and benefits administration work under a surgical procedure code, or that the source data conflates unrelated procurement categories. State and local buyers posting under this code include county correctional systems (Muscogee County Prison), county human resources and benefits divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county health plans (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County Health), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department) — a diverse set of health-related issuing bodies that do not appear to be procuring surgical services.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP 2025-007 for peer support services for peer workers funded at $580,000 over three years (due July 2, 2025), and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on vascular or surgical services; the tagged opportunities reflect administrative, clinical management, and telehealth delivery services unrelated to the code's nominal scope.
