UNSPSC 85504750: Insertion of infusion device into right axillary artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right axillary 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 03H533Z

UNSPSC 85504750 Insertion of infusion device into right axillary artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code assigned to clinical procedure taxonomy, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect the narrow procedural scope its name suggests. Instead, the opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomy label—a specific interventional cardiology procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are buying today under this designation. The opportunities reflect broader health services procurement across county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county probation systems, none of which involve insertion of infusion devices into axillary arteries as a primary or material deliverable.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at a maximum $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 Washington State Ferries locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's continued use for unrelated procurement signals either systematic tagging error or a legacy classification that procurement offices have not corrected; vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities listed under this number.
