UNSPSC 85504650: Supplement left brachial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left brachial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 03U83JZ

UNSPSC 85504650 (Supplement left brachial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code in the clinical medical device and surgical procedure taxonomy, but state and local government procurement activity under this code does not align with its nominal medical device and surgical procedure scope. Recent solicitations posted under or associated with the code instead reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluation services—administrative and clinical support functions rather than implantable medical devices or specific surgical interventions. This mismatch signals that the code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated definition, and vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in this technical space should focus on the actual work being solicited rather than the code's formal classification.

The issuing bodies across recent postings span state health systems, county commissioners' offices, retirement boards, and transportation departments. The Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026) and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) represent the most clearly defined current opportunities. Activity is distributed across Arizona (City of Phoenix retirement boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out benefits RFP, due October 7, 2026; Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP), Washington State (WSDOT ferries medical surveillance), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, due September 25, 2026). Vendors considering this code should clarify with issuing bodies whether their opportunity is correctly tagged, as the current posting pattern reflects administrative health services procurement rather than the clinical device and surgical procedure scope the code nominally describes.
