UNSPSC 85505019: Replacement of left brachial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left brachial artery with nonautologous 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 03R84KZ

UNSPSC 85505019 Replacement of left brachial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual work being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch reflects either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or a divergence between the code's clinical nomenclature and the broader healthcare management and staffing services state and local agencies are actually buying.

The issuing bodies span a diverse mix: city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention health systems (Harris County), county employee benefits programs (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). The recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of relevant opportunities matching the code's stated scope, this code shows little activity of decision relevance to firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts.
