UNSPSC 85503714: Supplement upper artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement upper artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 03UY3JZ

UNSPSC 85503714 Supplement upper artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular intervention via percutaneous approach — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the vascular intervention supplies or services the code nominally describes. State and local governments appear to be tagging a range of health plan administration, medical staffing, and occupational health services under this code despite their divergence from surgical-procedure-related procurement.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal retirement offices and health plans (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities are the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) supporting ferry workers across 14 statewide locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services supporting approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, with historical spend at $8.7 million annually); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, multiple-award with no guaranteed work volume). The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope suggests either systematic miscoding at the state and local level or use of this code as a catch-all for health services administration rather than surgical-device procurement.
