UNSPSC 85503917: Restriction of right ulnar artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right ulnar 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 03V90DZ

UNSPSC 85503917 Restriction of right ulnar artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical cardiovascular procedure, but the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that narrow clinical scope. Instead, the code captures a broad mix of health services and occupational medical administration work — disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management and Center of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county governments (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting use of this code as a catch-all for non-clinical medical administration and health professional services procurement rather than surgical procedures.

Activity is spread across at least five states — Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County) — with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with 40 percent weight on price), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's taxonomy mismatch with actual procurement activity suggests vendors should verify scope alignment when evaluating opportunities tagged under this code.
