UNSPSC 85504200: Principal arteries upper extremities, open approach-part D

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the upper extremities with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85504200 Principal arteries upper extremities, open approach-part D is a Class code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local contracting activity posted under it. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged to this code but address occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or upper-extremity arterial intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing work in vascular surgery or related procedural services.

The six opportunities posted under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, for occupational medical surveillance), counties (Collier County and Harris County), cities (City of Phoenix and City of Long Beach), and county health systems (Santa Clara Health System) across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Geographic concentration is absent; the opportunities are geographically dispersed with no state or region appearing more than once. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, multiple-award, five-year pool). The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope suggests a tagging or classification error in the underlying procurement systems rather than genuine demand for upper-extremity vascular services under this code.
