UNSPSC 85505176: Dilation of right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right 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 03794ZZ

UNSPSC 85505176 Dilation of right ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific vascular surgical procedure — does not align with the medical and health services state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent vascular interventions or procedural capabilities. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently in state and local procurement systems, or the code itself is misclassified for the service categories being purchased.

Geographic activity among the recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Issuing bodies include city governments, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and county health systems. However, because the opportunities are unrelated to the code's stated scope, this geographic and issuing-body distribution does not indicate actual demand for the vascular procedure the code names. Businesses evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services or medical staffing work.
