UNSPSC 85504701: Occlusion of left hand artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left hand 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 03LF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85504701 Occlusion of left hand artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure for arterial occlusion, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not match that description. Instead, the opportunities being posted span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related health benefit and administrative services. These are administrative and operational healthcare services fundamentally unrelated to the specific percutaneous arterial intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions — a mix of state and local administrative agencies rather than clinical or hospital procurement units.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County). Given the mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the operational and administrative health services actually being solicited, the code does not appear to serve as a reliable procurement taxonomy entry for state and local buyers in this domain. Practitioners should verify the code assignment directly with issuing bodies or flag this category for taxonomy review with state procurement offices, as the tagging does not reflect genuine market activity for percutaneous arterial occlusion procedures or related clinical services.
