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 03NF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85504681, Release left hand artery, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems with minimal actual activity matching its clinical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vascular procedures; instead, they reflect healthcare service procurement across multiple categories — inmate medical and pharmacy services, employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. This mismatch suggests the code may be applied inconsistently or as a default classification in health procurement systems that do not align tightly with clinical procedure taxonomy. State and local buyers posting under this code span county corrections departments, county employee benefits programs, county health plans, county behavioral health divisions, and municipal fire departments. The issuing bodies include Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California).

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Georgia, Florida, and California. The most substantive posted solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 employees and dependents with estimated annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county health plan members (due April 16, 2026). The mismatch between the code's ostensible clinical scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code is not a reliable indicator of real healthcare contracting opportunity in state and local markets; business development teams should verify actual scope against UNSPSC coding during pursuit planning.
