UNSPSC 85505066: Occlusion of right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right ulnar 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 03L94ZZ

UNSPSC 85505066 Occlusion of right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contracting activity under this code does not reflect clinical vascular intervention. Instead, the code has been applied to a heterogeneous set of health services procurements spanning occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the arterial occlusion procedure the code nominally identifies. The mismatch between the code's name and actual scope of work suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing jurisdictions or a broader taxonomy mapping that does not align with clinical procedure specificity at the Commodity tier. The issuing bodies are primarily city and county human resources or health system procurement offices managing employee benefit programs and occupational health compliance, alongside specialized agencies like transit authorities and juvenile justice departments managing medical services for specific populations.

Recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix city retirement offices), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Washington State (Department of Transportation and Ferries), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misapplication to non-procedural health services, this Commodity should be treated as showing little relevant recent activity for firms providing the actual vascular intervention service the code nominally describes.
