UNSPSC 85505201: Destruction of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 035F4ZZ

UNSPSC 85505201 Destruction of left hand artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for arterial destruction procedures or any clinical interventions matching the code's medical description. Instead, the code is being applied to a diverse set of health services contracting: independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This systematic mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems or a misclassification at the source. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation systems, county health consortia, and county health systems — a mix typical of government employee benefits and occupational health contracting rather than surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring examinations by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a multi-award qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical services. The code shows no coherent procurement signal and appears to be a classification error.
