UNSPSC 85503915: Restriction of left ulnar artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left ulnar artery with extraluminal 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 03VA0CZ

UNSPSC 85503915, Restriction of left ulnar artery with extraluminal device, open approach (Commodity), does not map to state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — a vascular intervention requiring physician performance — and carries a clinical CPT-style nomenclature typical of medical billing taxonomy rather than procurement taxonomy. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code concern occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve performance of the indexed procedure itself. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or use of this UNSPSC code as a proxy for broader healthcare services categories in a jurisdiction's internal system.

State and local issuers posting opportunities tagged to this code span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county probation authorities, and municipal human resources departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out administration due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services. No recent opportunities under this code solicit the indexed surgical procedure, and pursuit should focus on clarifying whether the code assignment is correct for your firm's service lines.
