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 03QY4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503820 Repair upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical repair procedure — does not align with the health-care-related opportunities the state and local market has posted under this classification.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve upper artery repair or percutaneous endoscopic vascular interventions. The issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Muscogee County, Georgia), county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), a county health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the administrative, preventive, and managed-care services actually being procured suggests the code may not be the appropriate classification for state and local health-care contracting in this market segment, or that these opportunities were tagged incorrectly at the source.
