UNSPSC 85504005: Replacement of right hand artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 03RD0JZ

UNSPSC 85504005 "Replacement of right hand artery with synthetic substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery or arterial replacement. State and local agencies issuing under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human resources and pension offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal employee benefit offices (City of Long Beach). The mismatch between the code's technical procedure description and the services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is used as a fallback classification for health services procurements that do not fit standard categories.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, proposals due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume; and Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical procedure title and the administrative and occupational health services actually being bought, this code does not represent a reliable identifier for related procurement opportunities in state and local government procurement systems.
