UNSPSC 85503820: Repair upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair upper artery, 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 03QY4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503820 Repair upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with procurement of upper-artery repair services. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these directly procures upper-artery repair procedures or related clinical services.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual buying activity suggests either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code is being applied to health benefits administration and medical staffing rather than to surgical procedures themselves. Business development professionals evaluating whether to pursue state and local work under this code should note that recent solicitations do not reflect demand for the procedure the code describes. The activity visible in the opportunities block is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but spans health plan administration, provider networks, occupational medicine, and temporary staffing—domains fundamentally different from surgical procedure procurement.
