UNSPSC 85504135: Excision of left ulnar artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 03BA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504135 "Excision of left ulnar artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity found in recent opportunities. The solicitations posted under this code are procurement notices for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve surgical procedures or the excision of arterial structures. The code appears to be a clinical billing or procedural classification from a healthcare taxonomy rather than a procurement category, creating a mismatch between the UNSPSC designation and the actual goods or services being purchased by state and local government entities.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county governments and county-based boards of commissioners (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, and Monroe County in Florida) and a county health department (San Mateo County in California), plus a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and California with one Georgia solicitation. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not correspond to the work actually being solicited, this code shows no relevant procurement activity for business development purposes.
