UNSPSC 85504104: Insertion of infusion device into right hand artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right hand artery, 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 03HD03Z

UNSPSC 85504104 Insertion of infusion device into right hand artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not involve infusion devices or hand artery catheterization. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity: recent opportunities instead involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these services align with the infusion device procedure the code purports to describe. This classification discrepancy suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a code misalignment that obscures the true nature of purchasing activity under this UNSPSC.

The jurisdictions issuing under this code span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county employee benefit programs (Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities cluster in California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The code does not reflect coherent procurement activity in a single service line and warrants verification against the actual UNSPSC taxonomy assignment.
