UNSPSC 85503736: Excision of upper artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 03BY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503736 Excision of upper artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local government procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with procurement of a defined surgical procedure or related supplies. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual work being solicited suggests this Commodity code does not map consistently to state and local government contracting practice, or that the opportunities were misclassified at the point of posting.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), multiple counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic activity appears in Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026). Neither opportunity directly involves procurement of an upper-artery excision service or device, indicating the code classification does not reflect the actual scope of state and local buying activity under this UNSPSC designation.
