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 03960ZZ

UNSPSC 85504157 Drainage of left axillary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employees, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve drainage of the left axillary artery or arterial surgical intervention at all. This mismatch indicates the code is either misconfigured in the source jurisdictions' procurement taxonomies or applied inconsistently across issuing bodies.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span diverse issuing bodies and geographies with no coherent pattern. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing) represent a scattered mix of state agencies, counties, and cities pursuing wholly unrelated health services procurement. The recent response dates span from September 25, 2026 through April 9, 2026 (retrospectively), with no coherent geographic concentration. This code warrants skip; the taxonomy tag does not support the actual clinical or operational work state and local governments are buying.
