UNSPSC 85504201: Destruction of left hand 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 035F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504201 Destruction of left hand artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and examination coordination, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve destruction of a left hand artery. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent work aligned with the code's stated scope.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests a tagging error in the underlying procurement system rather than a genuine commodity family in active use across state and local jurisdictions. No further business development pursuit is warranted under this code's nominal scope until the tagging is corrected or recent opportunities demonstrate genuine alignment with arterial surgical procedures.
