UNSPSC 85505014: Replacement of left ulnar artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ulnar artery with synthetic 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 03RA4JZ

UNSPSC 85505014 Replacement of left ulnar artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve procurement of that service. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with arterial replacement procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local buying patterns under it.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not support a reliable market assessment at this time. No opportunities in the source involve the procurement of arterial replacement implants, surgical supplies, or related orthopedic or cardiovascular products that would logically fall within the code's stated scope. Prospective vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before preparing responses.
