UNSPSC 85505131: Excision of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 03BF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505131 Excision of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the surgical operation the code nominally names. Instead, the six most-recent opportunities tagged with this code procure medical evaluation, surveillance, and staffing services — independent medical examinations for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out benefit administration, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies are a mix of municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county human services agencies, county health systems, and municipal health plans, spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code appears to be misapplied across these procurements; the mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding by procurement offices or a data tagging error rather than genuine demand for the surgical service the code describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). No procurement activity in the source reflects demand for the surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
