This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right ulnar 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 03590ZZ

UNSPSC 85504206 Destruction of right ulnar artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to surgical intervention — they encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for public safety disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code itself appears to be a medical-procedure classification used erroneously in procurement-system tagging; the actual purchasing activity shows state and local governments buying administrative medical services, benefit program management, and clinical staffing support rather than any surgical work. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city human resources and benefits offices (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional transit authorities. No vendor or issuing body appears more than once across the six recent solicitations.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 Washington ferry locations with a two-year initial term and up to five renewal years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed work volume. The code shows substantial recent activity in health-benefit administration and occupational or administrative medical services, not surgical procedures, signaling a taxonomy mismatch rather than genuine procurement interest in the stated commodity.
