UNSPSC 85505054 Occlusion of right hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a clinical procedure classification used in medical billing and clinical coding systems, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which represent occlusion procedures or vascular interventions. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to medical services and staffing RFPs. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited signals that this code shows no meaningful activity in state and local contracting for the work its name describes.

The recent opportunities posted under this code do not support pursuit of work related to the code's nominal clinical procedure. Bidders reviewing opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85505054 should verify the actual scope in each solicitation document, as the code itself provides no reliable signal of the products or services being purchased.
