UNSPSC 85505120: Insertion of infusion device into right axillary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right axillary 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 03H543Z

UNSPSC 85505120 Insertion of infusion device into right axillary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. Recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve insertion of infusion devices into axillary arteries. The code appears misapplied to procurements that are administrative health-care services, benefits management, and staffing vendor qualification, not procedural medical interventions. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal HR departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), county procurement offices (Collier County), and special health consortiums. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering medical record summaries and disability examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a maximum of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations with physician board certification in occupational medicine required; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) covering 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive basis with no guaranteed volume. The code shows little activity aligned with its procedural medical scope and appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in state and local procurement systems.
