UNSPSC 85505003: Replacement of left hand artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hand artery with autologous tissue substitute, 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 03RF47Z

UNSPSC 85505003 Replacement of left hand artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in state and local practice does not align with actual procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability pension medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which are arterial replacement procedures. This code shows a systematic mismatch between its clinical taxonomy name and what state and local governments are actually buying under it in the market.

The recent opportunities that have been tagged to this code come from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County (California), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county procurement divisions. The Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These opportunities, while health-services-oriented, do not correspond to the arterial replacement procedure the code nominally describes. The code's use in state and local procurement appears to reflect a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than a meaningful demand signal for the service the code name specifies.
