UNSPSC 85504140: Excision of right axillary artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right axillary 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 03B50ZZ

UNSPSC 85504140 Excision of right axillary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect a broad range of healthcare administration and service delivery work — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision of arteries. The code appears to have been misapplied across these solicitations, suggesting either a data classification error in the underlying opportunity postings or use of this code as a catch-all for health services procurement when more specific codes would be appropriate.

Recent activity spans multiple state and local jurisdictions including Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), California (San Mateo County Health), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department), with opportunities posted between February and April 2026. Representative solicitations include an RFP from Columbus Consolidated Government for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026 at approximately $8.7 million annually), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026). No issuing body appears more than once in the available recent postings. The code shows limited recent activity under its actual scope as a surgical procedure; firms evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of opportunity classification before committing business development resources, as the posted solicitations do not reflect the commodity's stated clinical definition.
