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 03Q70ZZ

UNSPSC 85504038 Repair right brachial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular level of the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code taxonomy. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical or vascular repair services; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and medical procedure carve-out programs for employee benefit plans. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and what state and local procurement offices are actually buying under this designation. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting vascular surgery or orthopedic repair services through this code in current activity.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits procurement (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county government procurement divisions (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). This code should be treated as inactive or misclassified for surgical services procurement; firms pursuing vascular surgery or orthopedic repair work should verify the correct commodity classification through the procuring jurisdiction rather than rely on this code.
