UNSPSC 85504153: Drainage of left brachial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left brachial 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 03980ZZ

UNSPSC 85504153 Drainage of left brachial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—arterial drainage via open surgical technique—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code are requesting independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these solicitations involve the actual performance of arterial drainage procedures or any related operative interventions. The mismatch reflects a tagging error rather than a legitimate market signal for this code.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows no meaningful volume for business development purposes. The recent opportunities span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing)—none of which procure the surgical service this code nominally describes.
