UNSPSC 85504164: Dilation of right hand 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 037D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504164 Dilation of right hand artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county workforce, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—are all healthcare service contracts that do not involve dilation procedures or vascular interventions. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement systems appear to have tagged these opportunities with an inappropriate UNSPSC classification that bears no relationship to the actual work being solicited.

The misalignment between the code's clinical definition and the posted opportunities reflects a broader challenge in state and local taxonomy application: purchasing offices sometimes assign codes that do not match the service or product being bought. No issuing body is actively procuring dilation of right hand artery services under this code in the current marketplace. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification—likely in the healthcare services or medical management families—before pursuing work in the public-sector healthcare procurement space.
