UNSPSC 85503819: Replacement of upper artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of upper artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 03RY47Z

UNSPSC 85503819 Replacement of upper artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve arterial replacement procedures or the clinical work the code's name implies. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy assignment error in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services contracting more broadly.

The recent opportunities do reveal that state and local health purchasers are actively procuring medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services across multiple jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool due October 7, 2026. Issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county departments. Given the code's nominal scope bears no relation to the actual work being solicited, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in this category.
