UNSPSC 85504008: Replacement of left radial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left radial 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 03RC0JZ

UNSPSC 85504008 Replacement of left radial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a specific ICD-10 procedural identifier, yet state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect orthopedic or cardiovascular surgical procurement. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code show state and local governments buying occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks for government employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth detention — none of which align with procurement of radial artery replacement procedures or related surgical supplies. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a cross-jurisdictional pattern typical of government health plan administration and occupational medicine services.

The geographic spread spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Arizona (Phoenix pension board disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out networks, Santa Clara health system temporary staffing), Texas (Harris County youth detention medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling; and the County of Santa Clara's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its nominal scope and appears mistagged in the procurement records examined.
