UNSPSC 85504203: Destruction of left radial 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 035C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85504203 Destruction of left radial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a surgical procedure and is inapplicable to public-sector contracting as currently sourced.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical services procurement — occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public-safety pension determinations, surgical benefit management for municipal employees, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves destruction of a radial artery or operative vascular intervention. The UNSPSC classification appears to be a data error or tagging mismatch in the source material. State and local governments procure medical services, medical staffing, and health benefit administration; they do not typically contract for individual surgical procedures on named anatomical structures. No procurement activity under this code's intended scope has been identified in recent solicitations from state departments, counties, cities, or health systems.
