UNSPSC 85504768: Excision of right brachial artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right brachial 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 03B73ZZ

UNSPSC 85504768 Excision of right brachial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but it shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it in state and local procurement databases are administrative and occupational health services — medical record summarization, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing — that bear no direct relationship to brachial artery excision. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting for this specific surgical procedure as a standalone commodity or service line.

The mismatch reflects a common classification inconsistency in state and local procurement systems, where medical services solicitations are sometimes tagged with UNSPSC codes that do not align with the actual scope of work being purchased. A business development professional evaluating this code should note the classification gap and verify UNSPSC assignments directly against current opportunity postings rather than relying on the code's abstract name. If procurement interest exists in occupational health services, pharmacy administration, or temporary clinical staffing, those services are better tracked under their respective Family and Class codes than under this Commodity designation.
