UNSPSC 85504109: Insertion of intraluminal device into left ulnar artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left ulnar 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 03HA0DZ

UNSPSC 85504109 Insertion of intraluminal device into left ulnar artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—the placement of an intraluminal device in the ulnar artery via open surgical approach—which falls within clinical medical taxonomy rather than the goods, services, or operational contracts that state and local governments typically solicit. The five recent opportunities posted under this code (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care, San Mateo County peer support for peer workers, and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services) do not involve intraluminal device insertion or related vascular interventions. They span correctional health administration, pharmacy management, telemedicine platforms, mental health peer support, and emergency medical direction—none of which align with the surgical procedure named in the code.

The posting of these healthcare management and services solicitations under a vascular surgery procedure code suggests a classification misalignment in the state and local procurement data rather than a genuine market for this commodity. The code appears to capture no relevant recent activity for business development purposes. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should monitor codes aligned with actual procurement categories—such as healthcare staffing, medical supplies, telehealth platform services, or behavioral health programs—rather than clinical procedure taxonomy intended for medical billing or hospital departmental classification.
