UNSPSC 85503822: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 03PY4KZ

UNSPSC 85503822 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue-substitute removal or vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of these opportunities or that the code is not in active use for state and local procurement of actual surgical services.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city employee-benefit departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county procurement offices. The recent activity under this code reflects broader municipal and county investment in health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and ancillary clinical staffing rather than surgical procedure procurement. No state or local government has posted an RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for vascular surgical services or tissue substitutes under this code in the recent-opportunities window.
