UNSPSC 85505171: Dilation of right radial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right radial artery with intraluminal device, 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 037B4DZ

UNSPSC 85505171 Dilation of right radial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's technical name denotes a specific vascular intervention procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve radial artery dilation or intraluminal device placement. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific definition and the diverse health services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy match for the opportunities presented.

No state and local solicitations under UNSPSC 85505171 are buying the work the code describes. The opportunities in the recent activity block represent general health services procurement (independent medical evaluations by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, surgical benefit networks by the City of Long Beach, occupational medical surveillance by the Washington State Department of Transportation, specialty healthcare for Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, pharmacy benefit management by Collier County, and temporary health professional staffing by Santa Clara County Health System), but none align with interventional vascular procedures. Firms evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC assignment in any actual RFP before bidding, as the current activity stream does not reflect opportunities under the code's stated clinical scope.
