UNSPSC 85503631: 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 (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services—do not involve arterial occlusion procedures or related surgical supplies. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to healthcare contracting opportunities that span management services, benefit administration, and provider staffing rather than medical devices, supplies, or specific procedural interventions.

State and local buyers do solicit healthcare-related contracts across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies—county corrections departments, county human resources and health plan administrators, county emergency services, and county behavioral health agencies—but the tactical procurement activity does not align with what UNSPSC 85503631 nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity tagging or a fundamental category misalignment that makes this code unreliable for forecasting or targeting state and local business development in this commodity family. Practitioners should verify coding against the actual scope of work before relying on this category for market analysis or bid pursuit.
