UNSPSC 85504715: Occlusion of left ulnar artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left ulnar artery with extraluminal device, 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 03LA3CZ

UNSPSC 85504715 (Occlusion of left ulnar artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-device scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific interventional medical device or procedure, yet the recent opportunities in the source are soliciting medical services — independent disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with vascular occlusion devices or percutaneous arterial procedures. The source contains no evidence that state and local governments are actively procuring under this code in its stated commodity scope.

Because the recent opportunities are tagged with this code but do not reflect its nominal product definition, the code shows little relevant procurement activity for firms pursuing vascular-occlusion-device or interventional-radiology-equipment opportunities with state and local bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System are all transacting in occupational health, pension administration, employee benefits, and temporary staffing — verticals that do not require specialized vascular devices. Firms should verify whether this code is being applied to these health-services opportunities in error, or whether the code definition itself requires clarification from the state or local procurement office before pursuing work under this taxonomy heading.
