UNSPSC 85503929: Restriction of right axillary artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right axillary 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 03V50DZ

UNSPSC 85503929 Restriction of right axillary artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention, yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, healthcare staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve restriction of an axillary artery or intraluminal device placement. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been repurposed as a catch-all for certain healthcare administration and clinical staffing services outside its stated scope. The source shows no recent state or local opportunities actually soliciting axillary artery restriction procedures or related medical devices.

State and local governments posting opportunities under this code are city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 applicants annually at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the complete disconnect between the code's medical procedure description and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being procured, this code warrants clarification with procurement offices before pursuit.
