UNSPSC 85822918: Measurement of arterial pulse, pulmonary, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of arterial pulse, pulmonary, open approach. This measurement 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 4A030J3

UNSPSC 85822918, Measurement of arterial pulse, pulmonary, open approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a clinical procedure — measurement of arterial pulse and pulmonary function via open surgical approach — yet the six recent opportunities tagged to it span disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations procures the specific procedural or diagnostic service the code names; the mismatch suggests either miscoding at the state or local issuing office or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services contracting. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach, Seattle via WSDOT), a county probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara), reflecting fragmented state and local procurement of health services across administrative and clinical functions.

The recent opportunities with identifiable response dates cluster in the Pacific, Southwest, and South (Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, Florida), with the most substantive solicitations in Arizona and California. Representative active opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year contract for disability benefit examinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-weighted scoring with pre-bid conference), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals). No recent opportunities directly solicit the arterial pulse or pulmonary measurement procedures the code describes, indicating little current relevant activity under this Commodity code.
