UNSPSC 85504121: Extirpation of matter from left hand artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 03CF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504121 Extirpation of matter from left hand artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, hospital emergency and specialty care for detained youth, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves arterial extirpation or surgical vascular intervention. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source material or a code assignment that does not align with the service categories being purchased.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources offices (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and city pension and retirement offices (City of Phoenix). The geographic spread covers Washington, California, Arizona, and Texas. Because the code itself does not meaningfully describe the work being solicited, the recent opportunities are not decision-relevant to vendors evaluating a pursue or watch decision under this specific classification. Prospective bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for the service categories they intend to target — occupational medicine, disability evaluation, PBM administration, hospital services contracting, or temporary clinical staffing — rather than relying on this code assignment.
