UNSPSC 85505017: Replacement of right 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 right 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 03R94JZ

UNSPSC 85505017 Replacement of right ulnar artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no solicitations for vascular surgery services or implantable medical devices. Instead, the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve ulnar artery replacement or vascular reconstruction. The code appears to be a case of misclassification or administrative error in the source data—the opportunities are being purchased by state and local health systems, county human resources departments, transit authorities, and probation agencies, but they do not align with the code's stated scope of a specific vascular surgical procedure.

The geographic distribution of the recent opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix pension board medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara health system), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual solicitations in the database, this code shows little actionable activity for vendors specializing in vascular surgery, surgical implants, or related orthopedic device services. Business development professionals should verify code assignments in procurement notices directly rather than relying on this taxonomy entry.
