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 03SF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503961 "Reposition left hand artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and pediatric detention facility healthcare — none of which concern arterial repositioning or related vascular surgery. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests this code either receives minimal state and local tagging or is being misapplied by posting jurisdictions.

The opportunities that do appear under the code reflect general healthcare administration and workforce services rather than clinical surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or state. Without evidence that this code actually captures surgical vascular procedures at the state and local level, pursuit should focus on alternative codes or direct research into how individual procurement offices classify orthopedic and vascular work.
