This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left hand artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85505052, Occlusion of left hand artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, specialty pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with a specific interventional cardiology or vascular procedure. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to broader healthcare service and benefit-management procurements rather than to discrete clinical procedures. State and local issuing bodies currently active under this code include municipal pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county commissioners' offices, and city employee benefit departments.

Recent opportunities reflect healthcare administration and staffing work across multiple states and county systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term valued at $750,000 maximum. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and optional extensions. Santa Clara County (California) issued RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, as a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. Collier County (Florida) issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with annual historical spend near $8.7 million and an initial three-year term. The City of Long Beach (California) posted RFP HR26753 for surgical specialty networks and bundled payment models, due October 7, 2026, serving approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. Given the procedural focus of the code's name and the administrative healthcare scope of current activity, this code warrants investigation as a potential tagging error rather than pursuit as a reliable procurement category.
