UNSPSC 85504124: Extirpation of matter from right radial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right radial 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 03CB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504124 "Extirpation of matter from right radial artery, open approach" is a Commodity code tagged to state and local opportunities that bear no relationship to its clinical nomenclature. The recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—describe administrative healthcare services, population health management, and workforce support, not vascular surgical procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope, suggesting a tagging or taxonomy classification error in the underlying procurement database rather than active state and local demand for extirpation procedures themselves.

The issuing bodies across the small set of opportunities span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county probation departments (Harris County), and municipal benefits administration (City of Long Beach), with geographic spread across Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Geographic concentration and issuing-body repeat signals cannot be extracted reliably from opportunities that are not genuinely aligned to the code's intended scope. State and local procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for purposes of business development planning and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any healthcare service line being evaluated.
