UNSPSC 85503938: Supplement left radial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left radial artery with synthetic substitute, 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 03UC0JZ

UNSPSC 85503938 Supplement left radial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little activity aligned with vascular surgery supply or implant procurement. The code appears to see minimal or misaligned usage in state and local purchasing. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect medical services procurement — occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth detention — none of which involve procurement of vascular grafts, arterial substitutes, or surgical implants. The issuing bodies across these records include state health and transportation departments, county human resources and health systems divisions, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

Because the recent solicitations do not reflect procurement of the specific medical device or surgical material the code nominally describes, activity under UNSPSC 85503938 does not present a clear market signal for vendors supplying vascular surgical products or substitutes at the state and local level. No recent opportunities show demand for radial artery grafts, synthetic arterial supplements, or related operative supplies. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local health systems, hospitals, and surgical centers purchase these items under a different UNSPSC classification, or whether vascular surgery implant procurement flows through group purchasing organizations, hospital networks, or direct vendor relationships outside formal competitive solicitation channels.
