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 03N70ZZ

UNSPSC 85504048 Release right brachial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no substantive match to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—specifically the surgical release of the right brachial artery using an open surgical approach—a narrow clinical intervention typically performed within hospital operating rooms or surgical centers. State and local governments do not procure this procedure directly as a line-item service; rather, they contract for broader medical services frameworks that may encompass such procedures as one component among many.

The six recent opportunities tagged to this code involve disability medical evaluation services, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with procurement of a specific surgical procedure on a named anatomical site. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) procures a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program managing bundled payments for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical roles. The code's nominal scope bears no practical relevance to what state and local procurement offices are actually buying under this designation.
