UNSPSC 85504031: Repair left hand artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left hand artery, 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 03QF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504031 Repair left hand artery, open approach (Commodity) does not match the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, surgical procedure carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve vascular surgical repair. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to broader health services contracting; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities posted under it renders this code unreliable for market assessment and pursuit planning.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under this code genuinely solicit vascular surgical repair services or services within the code's clinical description. The geographic distribution cannot be meaningfully characterized, as the opportunities present (Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida) are tagged to administrative health services, health plan management, and medical staffing procurement rather than surgical intervention. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code with issuing bodies before pursuing work in vascular surgery or related surgical services contracting.
