UNSPSC 85503902: Restriction of left hand artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left hand artery with intraluminal device, open 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 03VF0DZ

UNSPSC 85503902 Restriction of left hand artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving intraluminal device placement in the left hand artery—does not align with the medical and healthcare opportunities currently being solicited by state and local agencies. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations span workforce medical screening, employee benefit plan administration, and healthcare staffing rather than the specific vascular surgical procedure the code describes.

The code appears to reflect a taxonomy mismatch rather than active procurement demand. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—are procuring healthcare services and benefits administration, not the surgical intervention the code nominally covers. No recent opportunity in the block directly solicits restriction-of-artery procedures or related implantable devices. The geographic spread spans the Southwest, West, and Southeast with no clear concentration, but the vendor field under this code would benefit from confirming that procurement offices have correctly tagged their opportunities or reconsidering whether this code applies to their actual buying activity.
