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 03N53ZZ

UNSPSC 85504690 Release right axillary artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure rather than a procurable product or service, and the recent opportunities tagged to it—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—do not align with the procedural scope the code nominally represents. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit for individual surgical procedures through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITT processes; they purchase healthcare services, staffing, benefits administration, or facility contracts that may encompass such procedures as part of a broader scope, but not as standalone line items. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the generic healthcare-contracting work shown in the recent opportunities suggests either a taxonomic misclassification or that this code is not meaningfully used by state and local procurement offices for capturing relevant work.

The recent opportunities span three states—Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, due May 15, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management services, due April 9, 2026, and Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care services, due April 16, 2026), and California (San Mateo County peer support pilot, due July 2, 2025, and Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction, due October 16, 2025). Issuing bodies include county commissioners, county health departments, and municipal fire departments. However, none of these opportunities genuinely call for the procedural service the UNSPSC code names, and the code should not be relied upon as a signal for pursuing healthcare contracting opportunities in this market segment.
