UNSPSC 85503740: Dilation of upper artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of upper artery with intraluminal device, 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 037Y3DZ

UNSPSC 85503740 "Dilation of upper artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific clinical intervention procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with that scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence network management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve arterial dilation procedures or interventional cardiology work. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy name and the actual procurement activity appearing in state and local notices, suggesting either a data classification error in the underlying opportunity records or a systematic misapplication of UNSPSC coding by issuing offices. No recent opportunities reflect the procedure named in the code itself.

The issuing bodies and geographic spread of the opportunities that do appear under this code span diverse state and local entities: the City of Phoenix (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the categorical misalignment between the code name and the work being solicited, this code warrants audit or reclassification rather than active pursuit based on the nominal procedure description.
