UNSPSC 85504804: Dilation of right hand artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right hand 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 037D3ZZ

UNSPSC 85504804 Dilation of right hand artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific invasive surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical centers of excellence, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve arterial dilation procedures. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to health service contracting opportunities that fall outside the code's clinical scope. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal employee benefits programs — a mix typical of government healthcare procurement but unrelated to the specific procedure the code nominally identifies.

The geographic activity reflected in recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The most concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations (RFP20260825), and the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs for municipal employees (HR26753). The code's misalignment with its nominal scope suggests that pursuing opportunities under this classification requires close source verification to identify work that actually matches firm capabilities rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation alone.
