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 03L50ZZ

UNSPSC 85504078 Occlusion of right axillary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for vascular obstruction, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to that scope — they involve disability medical record summary services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests a tagging or classification error in the state and local procurement systems rather than a meaningful code-level activity pattern.

No coherent procurement activity exists under this code as classified. The issuing bodies posting under 85504078 include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal HR departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county justice systems (Harris County), county governments (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), but their actual work spans benefits administration, medical surveillance, and staffing services entirely unrelated to the code's nominal surgical descriptor. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but geography and issuing-body diversity are not useful filters when the code classification itself does not track the services being purchased. Business development professionals should treat this code as a low-signal classification; the recent posting pattern indicates either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement platforms or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement intent.
