UNSPSC 85504814: Dilation of left ulnar artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left ulnar artery with intraluminal 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 037A3DZ

UNSPSC 85504814, Dilation of left ulnar artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific clinical procedure — vascular intervention — yet the recent solicitations posted under this code are for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. None of these opportunities involve dilation of an ulnar artery or procurement of the medical devices and clinical expertise that code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or that the code has been misapplied to administrative and staffing healthcare procurements that fall outside its clinical scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), and city employee benefits programs (Long Beach), indicating fragmented healthcare administration and occupational health purchasing across multiple jurisdiction types and geographies. No pattern of repeat vascular-procedure procurement emerges from the posted opportunities, and the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms seeking to bid on clinical interventional services at the state and local level.
