UNSPSC 85504179: Dilation of left brachial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left brachial 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 03780ZZ

UNSPSC 85504179, "Dilation of left brachial artery, open approach," is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which constitute dilation of a brachial artery or match the code's clinical scope. State and local issuers include county health systems, county human resources divisions, county juvenile probation departments, city retirement boards, and state transportation agencies; the issuing bodies reflect healthcare administration and employee benefits functions rather than clinical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread covers Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), Florida (Collier County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeks baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard workers and vessel crew across 14 ferry system locations under the supervision of an occupational medicine board-certified physician; the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards RFP (due October 16, 2026) seeks independent disability medical evaluations and record summaries for approximately 75 annual public safety retirement applications. Neither opportunity involves vascular intervention. The code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitation activity are plainly unrelated, suggesting either a data-entry error in tagging or fundamental misalignment between the code definition and how state and local procurement systems use it in practice.
