This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left hand 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 03CF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505121 Extirpation of matter from left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source shows no active solicitations for vascular surgical procedures matching the code's clinical descriptor. Instead, recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect administrative and occupational health services — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit program management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The issuing bodies span city retirement boards, city health benefits programs, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county health authorities, and county hospital systems. This pattern suggests the code is being applied to health services procurement broadly rather than to the specific procedure the code name describes, creating a significant mismatch between the code's clinical intent and its current procurement use.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit applications under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the City of Long Beach seeking proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits management (HR26753, RFP, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, RFP, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFP, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's clinical specificity and the administrative health-services nature of actual procurement activity, vendors pursuing contracts under this code should clarify with issuing bodies whether opportunities are genuinely related to vascular intervention or whether the code assignment reflects broader health services taxonomy issues at the source agency.
