UNSPSC 85503635: Insertion of intraluminal device into upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into 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 03HY0DZ

UNSPSC 85503635 Insertion of intraluminal device into upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or associated with this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve insertion of intraluminal devices into upper arteries or implantable vascular devices. The code designation appears misaligned with the actual work state and local agencies are buying in the medical and health services space.

State and local issuers currently active in medical services procurement include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Collier County Human Resources and Health Care Consortium (pharmacy administration), Santa Clara County Health System (clinical staffing), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits networks), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (inpatient and emergency care). These buyers are soliciting services management, network curation, staffing placement, and care coordination rather than procedural devices or surgical implants. Without evidence of recent state or local RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs actually purchasing vascular intraluminal devices or the clinical services directly tied to their insertion, this code does not support a pursue decision at this time.
