UNSPSC 85505100: Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the upper extremities with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85505100 Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal medical nomenclature—reflecting a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. Recent postings under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, health plan surgery carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic procedures on upper-extremity arteries. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all medical-services classification by issuing bodies unfamiliar with the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span multiple jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic distribution is dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear regional concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026).
