UNSPSC 85503800: Principal arteries upper body, percutaneous endoscopic 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 85503800 Principal arteries upper body, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic procedures on principal upper-body arteries. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source's code assignment or a systemic misclassification issue. No state and local government procurement activity supports the actual scope of the code's name.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for public safety pensions), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. This code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity in the cardiovascular procedure space and should be deprioritized pending clarification of the classification error.
