UNSPSC 85504169: Dilation of left radial 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 radial 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 037C04Z

UNSPSC 85504169 Dilation of left radial artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical and health benefit administration services—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—rather than the specific interventional cardiology procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies do not procure individual medical procedures as line-item goods or services; they contract with health plans, managed care vendors, and staffing agencies that deliver those services within broader health coverage or occupational safety programs.

The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local health procurement actually operates. Buyers under this code tag include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), a municipal employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), and a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Geographic activity spans Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a response deadline of October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent examination services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based vendor pool solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify that their service offering—whether health plan administration, occupational medicine, staffing, or benefits consulting—matches the actual work scopes in each solicitation rather than the code's procedure-specific nominal title.
