UNSPSC 85503700: Principal arteries upper body, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the upper body with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85503700 Principal arteries upper body, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical services, and specialty pharmacy management—none of which match the procedural/interventional scope implied by the code's name. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicits disability medical record review and examination coordination for pension benefits; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) calls for baseline and periodic occupational health examinations across ferry system locations; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414) covers formulary administration and claims processing. None of these procurements involve vascular access, catheterization, or arterial intervention.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State DOT), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems (Santa Clara, Long Beach). Geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding on the issuing agencies' side or that this code does not currently track active state and local procurements for vascular interventional procedures. Vendors tracking this code should verify whether activity exists outside the tagged opportunities or consider whether their service line aligns with the healthcare administration and occupational health services currently dominating the records.
