UNSPSC 85505173: Dilation of left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 037A4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505173 Dilation of left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida—covering independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to vascular interventional procedures and reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and the actual services being solicited by state and local health agencies, pension boards, and county departments.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out networks; and the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services. These opportunities span administrative medical services, benefits management, and occupational health—none involving the vascular procedures named in the code. The code merits review for reclassification or correction in state and local procurement systems, as continued tagging of general healthcare services to this specific clinical procedure code obscures the actual buying activity and renders the code unreliable as a market signal.
