UNSPSC 85505050: Release right axillary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right 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 03N54ZZ

UNSPSC 85505050 Release right axillary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no purchasing related to this code. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—ranging from independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix) to pharmacy benefit management (Collier County) to temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—involve medical administration, staffing coordination, and benefits program management rather than vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or a data integrity issue in code assignment.

No recent contract opportunities under this code address the procedure named in the UNSPSC taxonomy. Buyers posting under 85505050 include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the absence of procurement activity aligned with vascular surgery, this code does not warrant pursuit by firms offering surgical or interventional services. The activity recorded here reflects health program administration and staffing services—categories that typically fall under different UNSPSC families—rather than the orthopedic or vascular surgical domain the code nominally describes.
