UNSPSC 85504653: Supplement right brachial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right 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 03U73JZ

UNSPSC 85504653 Supplement right brachial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitation records tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and inpatient healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—involve healthcare administration, benefit program design, staffing services, and clinical support functions. None of these procurements involve vascular surgery, prosthetic implants, or the specific brachial artery supplementation procedure the code nominally describes. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misapplied to administrative healthcare contracting records.

State and local governments are not currently soliciting the specific medical procedure described under this Commodity code. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either a tagging error in the procurement database or that this code does not reflect active state and local contracting activity in the recent market. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for healthcare administration, benefit management, or occupational medicine services if pursuing these categories; this code is not the appropriate vehicle for those activities.
