UNSPSC 85504687: Release left brachial artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left brachial 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 03N83ZZ

UNSPSC 85504687 Release left brachial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the specific procedural intervention the code names. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source material or a state-local procurement system using medical procedure codes as a catch-all for health services procurement that falls outside traditional clinical taxonomy.

Of the six opportunities identified, only the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) involve clinical examination by licensed physicians aligned with the code's procedural framing. The remaining four solicitations — from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Long Beach, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — address health plan administration, specialty networks, staffing pools, and institutional care rather than specific medical procedures. The recent activity is geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no repeat buyers evident. Given the classification mismatch, pursuit of opportunities under this code should focus on validating the issuing body's actual procurement need against the UNSPSC assignment before bid preparation.
