UNSPSC 85504917: Restriction of right ulnar artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right ulnar artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 03V94DZ

UNSPSC 85504917 Restriction of right ulnar artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not describe vascular interventions or endoscopic procedures; instead, they encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care carve-outs through centers of excellence, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. These activities span occupational health screening, disability benefit determination, benefits administration, and clinical staffing — none of which correspond to the code's stated procedural name. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county boards (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). The breadth and diversity of these buyers and the absence of vascular procedures in any recent posting suggest the code has been misapplied to general medical services procurement rather than reserved for its intended surgical taxonomy.

Geographically, the recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with no dominant regional concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years to support disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code appears to carry persistent miscoding and does not reliably index state and local opportunities for actual vascular intervention services.
