UNSPSC 85504740: Insertion of infusion device into left ulnar artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left 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 03HA33Z

UNSPSC 85504740 Insertion of infusion device into left ulnar artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a substantial mismatch: three of six solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, and pharmacy benefit management—administrative and preventive health services unrelated to vascular access procedures—while one addresses specialty surgical carve-outs and another requests emergency and inpatient hospital services for youth in custody without specifying procedural detail. A sixth opportunity seeks temporary ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, imaging, respiratory care, therapy services) across multiple categories with no connection to the code's stated procedure.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability determinations under a public safety pension system; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, with historical spending of $8.7 million annually); and Santa Clara County Health System established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal scope—a specific percutaneous vascular access procedure—does not align with any of these opportunities, suggesting this code assignment reflects categorization error rather than actual procurement demand for the procedure itself.
