UNSPSC 85504030: Replacement of right axillary artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right axillary 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 03R507Z

UNSPSC 85504030 Replacement of right axillary artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code concern occupational and employee health surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or autologous tissue replacement. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant procurement activity at the state and local level.

The geographic spread of recent solicitations spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix disability retirement evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out and County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services). The issuing bodies are primarily municipal and county governments, with one state department; no school districts, transit authorities (beyond the Washington State Ferries as a state agency), or special-purpose districts appear in the recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026. The UNSPSC classification appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than a signal of genuine procurement activity in surgical vascular procedures.
