UNSPSC 85504716: Occlusion of right ulnar artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right ulnar 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 03L93ZZ

UNSPSC 85504716 Occlusion of right ulnar artery, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement systems but does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries workers, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related health administration services. These solicitations fall outside the scope of a procedure-specific vascular intervention code and suggest either systematic miscoding in the source systems or fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are applying it to health services contracting.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include city and county health and benefits offices (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county probation departments. No repeat buyers appear across the opportunities, and geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Given the procedural mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual health services being purchased—which center on administrative, staffing, benefit management, and surveillance services rather than percutaneous arterial occlusion procedures—this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing medical device, interventional radiology, or vascular procedure product sales. Business development professionals should verify the applicable UNSPSC codes for their service or product lines before pursuing opportunities flagged under this classification.
