UNSPSC 85505138: Excision of right brachial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right brachial 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 03B74ZZ

UNSPSC 85505138, Excision of right brachial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — the percutaneous endoscopic removal of the right brachial artery — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations span healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than any surgical intervention. State and local governments are not procuring or contracting for the execution of this procedure under the code.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, municipal procurement bureaus, a state transportation department, county health systems, and a county juvenile probation department. Because the code itself does not reflect what state and local buyers are actually soliciting — medical surveillance, benefits program administration, and staffing placement rather than surgical services — the code shows no actionable procurement activity for vendors in the surgical or procedural services space.
