UNSPSC 85504786: Drainage of right brachial artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right brachial artery with drainage device, 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 039730Z

UNSPSC 85504786 Drainage of right brachial artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no alignment with the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical surgical procedure — percutaneous drainage of the right brachial artery with device placement — yet the six most recent opportunities soliciting under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involves the brachial artery procedure named in the code.

This mismatch indicates either a systematic classification error in how the source database has tagged these opportunities, or a fundamental divergence between the UNSPSC code's clinical descriptor and how state and local procurement offices are using it in practice. The recent opportunities do cluster around government health programs and medical service administration — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requesting surgical benefit carve-out management for its PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division procuring occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). However, these opportunities do not represent procurement of the specific procedure identified by the code. Vendors pursuing opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85504786 should verify that the code accurately describes their scope of work or consider whether the tagging reflects actual procurement intent before committing business development resources.
