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 03QA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504035 Repair left ulnar artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged with this code are purchasing occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve arterial repair procedures. The mismatch indicates either misclassification at source or that this code is being used as a catch-all for medical services beyond its intended scope. State and local issuing bodies have not recently posted opportunities for the arterial repair work the code nominally describes.

The most recent opportunities show activity from the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, $750,000 over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, proposals due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing via a qualified-vendor pool vehicle, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no concentrated geographic pattern; recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas jurisdictions. Unless your firm specializes in one of these particular service lines—occupational medicine, pension disability evaluation, managed surgical networks, or temporary clinical staffing—this code does not represent a viable pursuit vector for work in your core business.
