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 03NC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504043 Release left radial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's clinical scope. The posted opportunities reflect instead a broad range of health services contracting: independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local governments are using this code to tag health services procurement across public safety pension systems (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits (Long Beach), state transportation occupational health (Washington), juvenile detention health care (Harris County), county employee benefits (Collier County), and health system temporary staffing (Santa Clara County). The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, county benefit administrators, and city retirement offices.

Activity is concentrated in the Southwest and California, with recent opportunities in Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards, RFP due October 16, 2026), California (Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026; Collier County in Florida, RFP due April 9, 2026), Washington State (Department of Transportation / Washington State Ferries, RFP due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026). The code appears to be applied inconsistently across medical service categories rather than reserved for the specific surgical procedure its name suggests, indicating that contract seekers should verify actual scope in each RFP or RFQ rather than relying on code-level classification alone.
