UNSPSC 85504064: Occlusion of left ulnar artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left ulnar artery with intraluminal device, open approach. 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 03LA0DZ

UNSPSC 85504064 Occlusion of left ulnar artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code tagged to medical and healthcare service procurement, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show no alignment between the code's nominal clinical scope and what is actually being solicited. The code appears to describe a specific surgical vascular intervention; however, the opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve occlusion of ulnar arteries or intraluminal device placement. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a significant drift between the code's stated scope and its application in state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—a diverse mix of municipal, county, and state agencies with no clear pattern of repeat procurement under this code. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Given the absence of relevant recent activity tied to the code's nominal purpose, the code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for vendors specializing in vascular surgical devices or related clinical services at the state and local level.
