UNSPSC 85504080: Occlusion of right axillary artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right axillary artery with extraluminal 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 03L50CZ

UNSPSC 85504080, Occlusion of right axillary artery with extraluminal device, open approach (Commodity), does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, pension disability evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and juvenile detention healthcare — none of which involve axillary artery occlusion or implantable vascular devices. This appears to be a medical procedure coding error within the state and local procurement systems, where clinical SNOMED or CPT codes have been incorrectly mapped to UNSPSC taxonomy.

The most recent opportunities show no relevant activity under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations involve vascular device procurement or implantation services. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities, as the code's nominal scope bears no practical relationship to the work currently being solicited.
