UNSPSC 85503946: Supplement right ulnar artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right ulnar artery with nonautologous tissue 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 03U90KZ

UNSPSC 85503946 Supplement right ulnar artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure, whereas the six recent opportunities tagged under it actually solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery, arterial reconstruction, or tissue substitutes. The mismatch indicates either systematic classification error in the underlying procurement database or use of this code as a fallback category for medically related services that lack a more precise UNSPSC match.

The actual opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human services (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and city government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753) due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because these opportunities do not represent procurement under the code's nominal scope, pursuit decisions should rest on direct market research into state and local medical services solicitations rather than on UNSPSC 85503946 itself.
