UNSPSC 85504831: Destruction of left hand artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 035F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85504831 Destruction of left hand artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities on file. The code nominally describes a clinical procedure — percutaneous destruction of a left-hand artery — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency care for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve left-hand artery destruction or match the narrow procedural scope implied by the UNSPSC title.

The mismatch reflects a classification error in the source data rather than active procurement activity aligned to the code's stated scope. State and local procurement offices are buying occupational health programs (Washington State Ferries medical surveillance), pension system disability assessments (Phoenix retirement boards), employee surgical benefits networks (City of Long Beach), and clinical staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System), but none of these activities constitute percutaneous vascular destruction procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the clinical service it nominally describes.
