UNSPSC 85505070: Occlusion of left brachial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left brachial artery with intraluminal 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 03L84DZ

UNSPSC 85505070 Occlusion of left brachial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under this code does not align with the code's nominal clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broad misclassification where health care procurement offices have applied this code to administrative medical services, occupational health screening, employee health benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the specific vascular intervention the code nominally describes. The actual work being solicited across these opportunities includes independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, Centers of Excellence surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary ancillary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies are state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach).

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferries employees (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows no coherent recent procurement signal; the UNSPSC classification appears to be an administrative artifact rather than a reflection of actual clinical procedure procurement at state and local government levels.
