UNSPSC 85504680: Repair right axillary artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right axillary artery, 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 03Q53ZZ

UNSPSC 85504680 Repair right axillary artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments in the recent opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve vascular surgery or percutaneous arterial repair. This misalignment between the code's abstract clinical scope and the real procurement activity suggests the code sees little relevant recent state and local activity.

The five recent opportunities span different issuing bodies — a county consolidated government (Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Florida), a county health department (California), and a municipal fire department (California) — and cover a broad range of health services administration and management rather than surgical intervention. The geographic spread is concentrated in Florida and California with one Georgia posting. No pattern of repeat buyers or standardized procurement volume under this code's actual taxonomy emerges from the available data. Given the evident mismatch between the code designation and procurement substance, firms pursuing vascular surgery repair contracts or related surgical services should verify the correct UNSPSC coding before pursuing opportunities tagged under this designation.
