UNSPSC 85504016: Replacement of right ulnar artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right ulnar artery with nonautologous 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 03R90KZ

UNSPSC 85504016 Replacement of right ulnar artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not describe work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure (arterial replacement), yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, health plan surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve ulnar artery replacement or any arterial surgery. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry or classification error in the opportunities block rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope.

The available opportunities do reveal activity across multiple state and local issuing bodies — city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county procurement divisions (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County) — but none of this activity maps to the specific surgical procedure named in the code. Without recent opportunities that actually solicit ulnar artery replacement services or closely related arterial surgery, the code shows no actionable procurement signal for firms pursuing this work.
