UNSPSC 85504032: Repair right 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 03QD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504032 Repair right hand artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The six recent opportunities sourced include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical specialties (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery, arterial repair, surgical procedures, or operative interventions of any kind. The issuing bodies span state departments, county government, municipalities, and county health systems, but the scope of work being purchased—administrative medical services, benefits program management, occupational health compliance, and staffing—bears no relation to surgical repair services.

The geographic spread of the opportunities includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida; however, the fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope (surgical arterial repair) and the actual procurement activity posted under it suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic miscoding at the source. No representative opportunity substantively addresses the work described by the code name. Practitioners should verify the code assignment with the issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities or consider whether the code itself may have been misapplied in the state or local procurement database.
