UNSPSC 85503631: Occlusion of upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 03LY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503631 Occlusion of upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a surgical procedure. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect actual procurement of upper-artery occlusion services; instead, state and local buyers have posted solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits coordination, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. No recent state or local opportunities directly procure upper-artery occlusion procedures or related surgical supplies.

The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the opportunities tagged under it suggests either a classification error in the sourcing system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health-related services broadly rather than for a specific surgical intervention. The opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments—and cover administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing rather than surgical procedures or implants. Without opportunities that reflect actual procurement of upper-artery occlusion services, pursuing this code through traditional state and local procurement channels offers limited business development signal.
