UNSPSC 85504111: Insertion of intraluminal device into right ulnar artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into right 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 03H90DZ

UNSPSC 85504111, Insertion of intraluminal device into right ulnar artery, open approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code, which nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention, appears to be a medical billing or clinical classification code that state and local agencies do not use to solicit procurement services or goods. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve insertion of intraluminal devices into arteries or match the procedural scope the code describes.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement data or use of a clinical taxonomy code in a procurement classification system where it does not belong. No recent state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity reflects procurement of intraluminal vascular devices, vascular surgical services, or related supplies under this code. Firms targeting state and local opportunities in medical device supply, vascular surgery support, or interventional radiology should verify the correct UNSPSC code classification before pursuing opportunities, as the code as currently tagged does not represent active state and local buying in this product or service line.
