UNSPSC 85504764: Excision of right radial artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right radial 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 03BB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85504764 Excision of right radial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its clinical procedural title and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical excision of radial arteries; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to be a classification artifact rather than a reliable predictor of procurement intent. State and local issuing bodies applying this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), city human resources and benefits procurement (Long Beach), state transportation departments and agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the breadth of misalignment. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations, valued at $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an IFB (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, scored 40 percent on cost and 60 percent on capability. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical specialties including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and respiratory care, with no guaranteed work volume. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753) due October 7, 2026 for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program serving 3,800 active employees and retirees through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures. This code does not reliably predict medical procurement opportunities and warrants reclassification or recoding by issuing bodies.
