UNSPSC 85504163: Dilation of left hand artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left hand artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, 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 037F04Z

UNSPSC 85504163, Dilation of left hand artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare services and employee benefits management, not interventional cardiology procedures. The code describes a specific clinical procedure (left hand arterial dilation with drug-eluting stent, open surgical approach), yet the posted opportunities involve pension medical reviews, employee health plans, occupational health programs, detention facility medical care, pharmacy administration, and clinical staffing procurement—none of which align with procurement of arterial intervention services or equipment.

State and local governments do not typically procure individual clinical procedures by UNSPSC commodity code. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or that the code is being misapplied to administrative healthcare contracts. No issuing body is actively soliciting services or equipment related to arterial dilation procedures under this code in the recent opportunities block. Vendors pursuing state and local healthcare procurement should verify actual buying patterns through the underlying RFP and RFQ documents rather than relying on the commodity-code classification alone.
