This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right 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 037D4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505164 Dilation of right hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations for public-safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vascular procedures or the specific clinical intervention the code nominates. The code appears to be a medical procedure taxonomy entry misapplied to health services contracting; state and local buyers are not soliciting arterial dilation services themselves but rather administrative, clinical staffing, and benefits management services.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a regional health system. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry operations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026, targeting April 2027 go-live), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool). Geographic activity spans California, Texas, Washington, Arizona, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the substantive work being procured indicates the code is not an appropriate tracking vehicle for these state and local health services opportunities.
