UNSPSC 85505045: Release left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left ulnar artery, 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 03NA4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505045 Release left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relation to the healthcare administration, pharmacy services, and medical direction contracts that state and local governments have posted under this classification. The most recent opportunities include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction, none of which involve the named surgical procedure.

The mismatch between code and procurement reality suggests this code sees little or no relevant state and local activity aligned with its stated definition. Without a coherent body of recent solicitations under 85505045 that match the code's actual scope, the code offers minimal signal for business development targeting. State and local procurement offices may have applied this code incorrectly to health services contracts, or the code may serve primarily federal or clinical contexts rather than state and local government purchasing patterns.
