UNSPSC 85505109: Insertion of intraluminal device into left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left 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 03HA4DZ

UNSPSC 85505109 Insertion of intraluminal device into left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific interventional vascular procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The six recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities represent procurement of intraluminal vascular devices or related medical device services.

The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity suggests either tagging error by the issuing bodies or an artifact in how state and local procurement offices classify health care service contracts. Issuers include municipal retirement boards (Phoenix), city health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Harris County), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. A business development professional evaluating this code should clarify with procurement offices whether the code is genuinely used for device procurement in their target jurisdictions, or whether opportunities nominally tagged here actually reflect administrative or clinical services unrelated to device supply.
