UNSPSC 85504000: Principal arteries upper extremities, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the upper extremities with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85504000 Principal arteries upper extremities, open approach–part B is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical intervention on upper-extremity arterial systems. State and local issuers posting opportunities under this code include county and municipal health departments, corrections agencies, and fire departments across multiple states, but the code designation itself does not reflect the work being solicited.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government on behalf of Muscogee County Prison), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department). Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, posted April 15, 2026, with proposals due May 15, 2026; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, posted April 9, 2026 with the same deadline; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services, posted March 14, 2026, with proposals due April 16, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the surgical or interventional services its nominal title describes, indicating either a miscoding pattern or an unused classification within state and local procurement. Firms pursuing work in correctional health, county pharmacy programs, or municipal emergency services should verify actual scope alignment before responding to opportunities posted under this code.
