UNSPSC 85504658: Supplement right axillary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right axillary artery with nonautologous tissue 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 03U53KZ

UNSPSC 85504658 Supplement right axillary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure for vascular intervention; the recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the surgical augmentation of an axillary artery with synthetic or other nonautologous tissue, and the mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to opportunities that fall outside its intended scope. State and local procurement bodies issuing under this code designation include city retirement offices, municipal health departments, county probation departments, county commissioners, and regional health systems, but their recent activity does not reflect the medical device or surgical procedure specialization the code name implies.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities extends from Arizona (Phoenix) to California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). No current state or local procurement under this code involves the surgical procedure indicated by the UNSPSC code name.
