UNSPSC 85505015: Replacement of left ulnar 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 ulnar 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 03RA47Z

UNSPSC 85505015 Replacement of left ulnar artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with the work state and local governments are actually soliciting. The UNSPSC code describes a specific surgical procedure on a single arterial system; recent state and local procurement activity under this code instead covers occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal surgical scope. Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span county health systems, state transportation departments, municipal retirement boards, county human resources divisions, and juvenile justice agencies. No repeat buyers appear across the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under an RFP (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations via RFP (due October 9, 2026, with cost-based scoring and a pre-bid conference); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories via RFQ (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive and multiple-award). The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual procurement activity suggests a tagging error in the underlying data rather than genuine market demand for this specific procedure at the state and local level.
