UNSPSC 85505200: Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part D

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the upper extremities with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85505200 Principal arteries upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach—part D is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's medical taxonomy suggests vascular surgical interventions, yet the state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge substantially: the Phoenix Retirement Office seeks disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services; Long Beach solicits surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks; Washington State Ferries requests occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issues an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services in a youth detention setting; Collier County procures pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara Health System seeks temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities align with vascular interventional procedures on upper-extremity arteries. The mismatch indicates that this code either captures administrative or outcome-management services tangentially related to medical procedures rather than the procedures themselves, or the tagging reflects catalog misclassification.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but geographic concentration cannot be assessed from so few and disparate opportunities. The issuing bodies include county pension boards, municipal employee benefit offices, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, county human resources divisions, and county health systems—a broad cross-section of local government buyers. Without opportunities that genuinely match the code's vascular-intervention scope, the code presents limited purchasing signals for vendors positioned to deliver upper-extremity arterial procedures or related clinical outcomes. Business development professionals should verify the code assignment in active solicitations before investing pursuit resources.
