This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left ulnar 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 037A0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504173 Dilation of left ulnar artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (vascular dilation via open approach) typically delivered as inpatient hospital care, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code in state and local procurement databases address medical and pharmacy services contracting—inmate healthcare delivery, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve the procedural intervention the code nominates. The mismatch reflects a tagging or classification error in the underlying procurement records rather than active state and local demand for the specific service the code describes.

Recent opportunities tagged under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including county corrections authorities (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health benefits programs (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, California, and other jurisdictions, but the work being solicited—jail medical contracting, employee health plan administration, virtual care platform operations, and peer support staffing—bears no operational relationship to vascular surgery or arterial dilation. No recent state or local opportunities under this code solicit products or services aligned with its stated scope.
