This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hand artery with autologous tissue 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 03RF07Z

UNSPSC 85504003 Replacement of left hand artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code reflect occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks, temporary clinical staffing placement, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve vascular surgical reconstruction. State and local procurement offices appear to have mislabeled these opportunities, as the substantive work being solicited diverges substantially from the code's clinical specification.

The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System, spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety personnel applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals statewide (proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's procedural nomenclature and the administrative and occupational health services actually being purchased, the code carries limited value as a targeting mechanism for firms pursuing state and local medical device or surgical procedure contracting.
