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 03Q50ZZ

UNSPSC 85504040 Repair right axillary artery, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure on a specific artery—does not align with the opportunities recently tagged to it in state and local systems.

The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve vascular surgical repair. The mismatch reflects a taxonomy tagging error within state and local procurement databases rather than genuine demand for the procedure described by the code's clinical name. State and local governments do not typically procure individual surgical procedures as line-item commodities; they contract for health plan administration, staffing, clinical services networks, and medical management programs. Vendors monitoring this code for procurement signals should note that the recent volume reflects miscoding, not a meaningful market for the service the UNSPSC designation nominally describes.
