This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right ulnar artery with extraluminal device, 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 03L94CZ

UNSPSC 85505068 Occlusion of right ulnar artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific medical procedure rather than a class of goods or services that state and local public bodies routinely solicit, and the recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with the code's nominal scope of arterial occlusion treatment.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual opportunities suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement where more granular taxonomy does not apply. State and local health plans, pension systems, and health systems are active purchasers of medical services, benefit management, and staffing, but they are using this code in ways that diverge sharply from its definition. Firms pursuing state and local health-related work should verify the actual scope in each RFP or RFQ rather than rely on code alignment; the opportunities shown span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida jurisdictions, but the code itself is not a reliable routing mechanism for identifying where work is actually being solicited.
