UNSPSC 85504180: Dilation of left brachial artery with intraluminal device, open approach

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

UNSPSC 85504180 (Dilation of left brachial artery with intraluminal device, open approach) is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular intervention on a brachial artery — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with procurement of that service or related interventional supplies. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determination, surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, and emergency/inpatient services for detained youth. None of these scopes involve brachial artery dilation procedures or the devices that would support them. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or a code assignment that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited.

State and local buyers posting under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy administration), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure networks), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical evaluation for pension disability), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities, firms evaluating pursuit should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before proceeding; the code as currently assigned does not reliably signal buying activity in vascular intervention devices or related surgical services.
