UNSPSC 85503831: Occlusion of upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 03LY4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503831 Occlusion of upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a medical procedure, but state and local governments do not solicit or contract for specific clinical procedures under UNSPSC taxonomy; instead, they procure health services, medical staffing, benefit administration, and occupational health programs that may encompass such procedures as part of broader scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which are procedure-specific procurement. This appears to be a classification mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual purchasing activities state and local bodies conduct.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of municipal, county, and state health and human services entities. Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (response due April 9, 2026). The code shows no recent activity that directly matches its nominal scope of a specific vascular procedure.
