UNSPSC 85504110: Insertion of infusion device into left ulnar artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion 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 03HA03Z

UNSPSC 85504110 Insertion of infusion device into left ulnar artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, yet state and local procurement activity under this code bears little relationship to the nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for county correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve insertion of infusion devices into ulnar arteries. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or the taxonomy assignment reflects administrative classification rather than clinical procedure specificity. Across the opportunities that do appear, issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida), county health and behavioral health departments (San Mateo County in California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). The work being solicited ranges from comprehensive inmate healthcare delivery under annual contracts to employee health plan services including virtual care, pharmacy administration, and peer support programming.

Activity concentrates in Florida and California, with secondary representation in Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026) seeking five years of demonstrated experience managing healthcare for jails or prisons with populations around 600 inmates under a two-year contract with three optional renewal periods; the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (due April 9, 2026) covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; the Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026) targeting approximately 2,300 county members with an effective date of October 1, 2026; and the San Mateo County peer support for peer workers RFP (due July 2, 2025) with $580,000 total funding for a three-year pilot project. The code's relevance to state and local procurement under its nominal clinical definition appears minimal; activity instead reflects health plan administration, occupational health services, and correctional healthcare contracting.
