UNSPSC 85503965: Reposition left ulnar artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left ulnar artery, 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 03SA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503965 Reposition left ulnar artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no relevant opportunities aligned with the procedure's scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical repositioning of the ulnar artery or operative orthopedic procedures. The code's assignment to these opportunities appears to reflect a systematic mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work actually being bought.

Issuing bodies across these opportunities include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), with geographic spread across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because the code does not reflect actual procurement demand for the procedure it nominally describes, business development professionals should treat activity under UNSPSC 85503965 as a data quality signal rather than a market indicator and verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
