UNSPSC 85505051: Occlusion of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left hand 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 03LF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505051 Occlusion of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not describe work that state and local governments are actually procuring. The code name references a specific clinical procedure — a vascular intervention — yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code seek medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations are not procurement of the procedure itself but rather administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing support. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited indicates that this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical definition.

The five recent opportunities in the source—spanning Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards (independent medical disability evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation (specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing)—reflect state departments, counties, and special-purpose health systems, but none involves the specific procedure named in the code. No state or local buyer is soliciting occlusion of left hand artery services as a distinct procurement line. Given the scope divergence, prospects pursuing work under this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classification of their service offering, as the current code assignment does not reflect state and local purchasing patterns in this domain.
