UNSPSC 85505149: Drainage of left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 039A4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505149, Drainage of left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with the specific clinical procedure named in the code. These solicitations address health benefit administration, occupational health programs, facility-based healthcare delivery, and staffing services, none of which involve the vascular intervention the code nominally describes.

State and local governments do not appear to procure this specific procedure as a discrete line item or contracting category. The code's assignment to these opportunities suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual state and local health purchasing practice. Bidders should verify the correct code classification before pursuing work under this designation.
