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 03NF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504041 Release left hand artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's nominal surgical procedure scope. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting a mix of administrative agencies, human resources and benefits functions, and health care operations rather than direct surgical delivery.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single region dominating. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a classification error, and bidders evaluating this code should verify actual procurement intent directly with issuing agencies rather than assuming surgical expertise is the market need.
