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 03S90ZZ

UNSPSC 85503966 Reposition right ulnar artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with meaningful state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—repositioning of the right ulnar artery via open surgical approach—that falls within medical procedure taxonomy but does not reflect how state and local buyers actually classify their health services contracting. Recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code are entirely unrelated to the procedure itself; they encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This indicates a classification mismatch rather than active procurement under the code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies—the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of these solicitations target surgical repositioning of the ulnar artery or any comparable invasive orthopedic or vascular procedure. State and local procurement under this code shows little activity aligned to its intended scope; buyers seeking perioperative or surgical services appear to classify those needs under broader health services or staffing codes rather than under anatomy- and procedure-specific commodity classifications designed for hospital supply chain or surgical scheduling systems.
