UNSPSC 85505136: Excision of right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 03B94ZZ

UNSPSC 85505136 Excision of right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code cover independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical procedures or involve the specific anatomical intervention named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical description and the work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a structural misalignment between UNSPSC medical procedure codes and how state and local procurement offices actually tag health services contracts. State and local buyers appear to use this code tier for administrative health services, medical program management, and staffing rather than for procedural surgery itself.

Issuing bodies include county health systems, county human resources and benefits divisions, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal retirement offices — a mix of benefits administration, occupational health, and detention healthcare functions. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these represent procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code.
