UNSPSC 85505021: Replacement of left brachial 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 brachial 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 03R847Z

UNSPSC 85505021 "Replacement of left brachial artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed on a single arterial vessel, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, health professional temporary staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve arterial replacement or direct surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that this code is either misapplied to health-care administration and staffing services or carries minimal relevance to vendors performing vascular or orthopedic surgery.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a large city government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county probation department (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). No recent opportunities documented under this code actually procure the arterial replacement procedure named in the code title.
