UNSPSC 85505161: Dilation of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 037F4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505161 Dilation of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with vascular dilation services. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or that this UNSPSC designation is not actively used by state and local purchasing offices for work actually being procured.

The six opportunities in the recent record span diverse issuing bodies (city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county commissioners, and regional health systems) and geographies (Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida), but none represent procurement of the procedure or service named in the code. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for operational purposes and verify UNSPSC coding accuracy with individual jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities posted under this designation.
