UNSPSC 85504800: Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the upper extremities with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85504800 Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous approach—part C is a Class code with minimal alignment between its nominal medical-device scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve percutaneous intervention on upper-extremity vasculature. The mismatch suggests either upstream coding errors or broad catch-all tagging of healthcare-related contracts.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies and states with no clear concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026); Collier County in Florida requested pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant procurement activity aligned with its stated purpose and should be considered inactive for purposes of pursuing upper-extremity vascular intervention contracts.
