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 nominally denotes a specific surgical procedure but shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities tagged under this code span jail and prison medical services contracting, county pharmacy benefit management, municipal virtual primary care operations, county mental health peer support programs, and municipal fire department medical director services — none of which involve surgical repair of a brachial artery or the operative orthopedic or vascular procedures the code name implies. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the underlying procurement system or a downstream taxonomy mapping that does not align the code to the work actually being solicited. State and local bodies appear to be using this code incorrectly or it is being applied to healthcare contracting at a level of abstraction far above the specific procedure the Commodity label describes.

The issuing bodies span county government (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California), municipal fire services (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), and regional health authorities. The geographic footprint includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison, Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health's RFP No. 2025-007 for a peer support program funded at $580,000, and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (proposals due October 16, 2025). The code does not present a coherent procurement category aligned with its commodity-level name; business development professionals should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under this designation.
