UNSPSC 85503839: Excision of upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 03BY4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503839 Excision of upper artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans—none of which involve excision of upper arteries or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities are being tagged or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are applying it to health services contracting. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice authorities, county health consortiums, and regional health systems, reflecting the broad scope of public-sector health administration rather than clinical procedure delivery.

The geographic distribution of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical procedure scope; buyers pursuing this classification should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before bid preparation.
