UNSPSC 85504900: Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

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 endoscopic 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 85504900 Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A is a Class code that exhibits little alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency/inpatient medical services for youth in custody — none of which concern percutaneous endoscopic procedures on upper-extremity arteries. The code shows no recent state and local procurement activity directly related to its stated clinical scope.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal health plans (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest, with opportunities in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida between July and September 2026, though the code's misalignment with actual procurement content limits the utility of this geographic characterization. The representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's endoscopic-procedure nomenclature and the health services, staffing, and benefits administration work actually being procured, this code does not reliably identify relevant opportunities for firms in procedural medical services.
