UNSPSC 85505046: Release right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right 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 03N94ZZ

UNSPSC 85505046 Release right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical Center of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve ulnar artery release procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health-care-related procurement in the underlying database or a categorical error in how the code has been applied to these opportunities.

The six opportunities do reflect active state and local health-care procurement across counties, cities, and special districts (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix, Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), but none can be plausibly connected to the procedural surgery this commodity code nominally describes. Bidders evaluating pursuit under this code should treat it as inactive for practical business development purposes and cross-reference the actual health-care service categories — occupational medicine, disability evaluation coordination, pharmacy administration, clinical staffing, and specialty surgical networks — under their correct UNSPSC families if available.
