This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right brachial 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 03573ZZ

UNSPSC 85504838 Destruction of right brachial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's clinical descriptor—a specific surgical procedure on the right brachial artery—bears no relationship to the health administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing services that state and local entities are currently requesting. The recent opportunities posted against this code span independent medical evaluation for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs for health plans, specialty medical services in youth detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error at the source or inconsistent code assignment across multiple issuing bodies.

Activity under this code appears concentrated among municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices in Arizona, Washington, and California. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFB (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals and shipyard locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a two-year initial term plus optional extensions. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out management through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and contract execution anticipated April 1, 2027. Collier County posted an RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026 and a three-year initial contract term. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Because the code designation is misaligned with the actual scope of work, evaluation of real procurement value and future activity under this specific code number should be deferred pending clarification of the cataloging issue.
