UNSPSC 85505020: Replacement of left brachial 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 brachial 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 03R84JZ

UNSPSC 85505020 Replacement of left brachial artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it do not align with vascular surgery procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit determinations, youth detention healthcare coordination, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which concern brachial artery replacement or related surgical supplies and devices. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied to these opportunities in error or as a catch-all classification for health-related services that do not map cleanly to surgical procedure codes.

State and local governments are actively soliciting medical evaluation, benefits administration, occupational health, and staffing services, but not under this code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 due date; the City of Long Beach posted RFP HR26753 for surgery benefit management through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance with an October 9, 2026 due date; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a multiple-award vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026. Absent a source indicating that vascular surgical devices, implants, or related procedure-specific procurement falls under this code in current state and local activity, the code does not represent a pursue opportunity for vendors in the surgical implant or device space.
