UNSPSC 85504015: Replacement of left ulnar artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ulnar 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 03RA07Z

UNSPSC 85504015 Replacement of left ulnar artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, health benefit plan management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve vascular surgery or tissue replacement. This mismatch indicates that the code is either applied incorrectly at tagging or used as a catch-all for health-related services and does not correspond meaningfully to recent buying activity.

State and local purchasing offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities under this code in recent weeks, but the work solicited — occupational health examinations for ferry workers, medical record review for pension disability determinations, surgical care carve-out programs, pharmacy network management, and clinical staffing placement — bears no substantive relationship to the code's procedural definition. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) sought independent medical evaluation services; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requested surgical benefit program management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) qualified temporary health professional staffing vendors. No recent opportunity under this code involves the replacement procedures the code nominally describes. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare work should treat this code as unreliable for screening opportunities and verify the actual scope of work in each RFP notice rather than relying on UNSPSC classification.
