UNSPSC 85504002: Replacement of left hand artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hand artery with synthetic 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 03RF0JZ

UNSPSC 85504002 Replacement of left hand artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern vascular surgical procedures or medical devices for arterial replacement. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that jurisdictions are routinely applying this clinical procedure code to broader healthcare service categories that do not fit its nominal scope.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies, including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The Washington State Ferries RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services requiring physician board certification in occupational medicine across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) requests independent medical evaluation services and disability benefit determination support for approximately 75 annual applications, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The City of Long Beach HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) procures surgical procedure carve-out benefits for Centers of Excellence networks covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Unless your firm has expertise in healthcare services administration, benefits consulting, occupational medicine, or medical staffing — distinct from vascular device sales or implant supply — this code warrants close scrutiny before investment.
