UNSPSC 85505049: Release left axillary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left axillary 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 03N64ZZ

UNSPSC 85505049 Release left axillary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for public employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities involve medical administration, benefits management, and staffing services rather than performance of the specific surgical procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is being used in state and local systems to capture a broader family of healthcare services than its commodity-level title indicates.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), county corrections (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county benefits administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing opportunities aligned with the commodity's stated scope.
