UNSPSC 85503642: Dilation of upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 037Y0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503642 Dilation of upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that the source shows does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve arterial dilation procedures or the surgical interventions the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, county probation departments, state transportation agencies, and municipal procurement offices. This mismatch between the code and the actual scope of work being bought suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or a vendor-tagging anomaly that obscures the true commodity families under which these services should be categorized.

The source identifies recent opportunities from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system employees (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code designation appears disconnected from the actual procurement activity, pursuing opportunities under this code requires validation against the underlying commodity families — likely healthcare staffing, benefits administration, or occupational health services — rather than reliance on the UNSPSC 85503642 tag itself.
