UNSPSC 85503960: Supplement right axillary artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right axillary artery with autologous 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 03U507Z

UNSPSC 85503960 Supplement right axillary artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular surgery or tissue supplementation. Instead, the code spans a range of occupational health, disability evaluation, employee benefits management, and healthcare staffing services that fall outside the code's stated medical procedure scope. The mix of issuing bodies includes city retirement offices, county human resources and health agencies, state transportation departments, and county health systems; recent solicitations originated from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System. The work being procured covers independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties including audiology, imaging, therapy, and sterile processing.

Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability record summaries and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications under a five-year, $750,000 contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026) requiring examinations by occupational medicine board-certified physicians; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic, surgical, and therapy services. The code assignment to this procurement activity represents a clear mismatch with its surgical procedure classification, limiting its utility as a categorical signal for vascular surgery vendors or specialists in tissue supplementation.
