UNSPSC 85503721: Removal of intraluminal device from upper artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from upper artery, 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 03PY3DZ

UNSPSC 85503721 Removal of intraluminal device from upper artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records as a medical billing or procedural classification but does not align with the work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code. The recent opportunities address independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and other administrative or clinical support functions—none of which involve the removal of intraluminal devices from upper arteries or any comparable interventional cardiology or vascular procedure. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities posted suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or use of medical procedure codes in a context where they do not reflect the actual goods or services being procured. State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit individual surgical procedures; they purchase health plan administration, staffing, vendor networks, and occupational health programs. This code warrants skipping unless your firm has a specific mandate to track procedural coding misclassifications in state and local systems, or to provide clarification support to procurement offices standardizing their UNSPSC taxonomy.
