UNSPSC 85822926: Measurement of arterial flow, pulmonary, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of arterial flow, 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 4A03053

UNSPSC 85822926 Measurement of arterial flow, pulmonary, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical scope—measuring arterial and pulmonary flow via open surgical approach—does not match the actual work being solicited under this code designation in current state and local opportunities. Recent opportunities posted under this code cover pension board disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve direct measurement of arterial or pulmonary flow. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source opportunities or that this code is not currently used by state and local procurement bodies for substantive clinical work in this category.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT/Washington State Ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), though the opportunities themselves address administrative health services, benefits management, and personnel staffing rather than the arterial flow measurement work the code nominally describes. No recent solicitations directly targeting arterial or pulmonary flow measurement services appear in the current opportunity set. Entities posting under this code include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county procurement offices, but their actual buys cluster around occupational health screening, medical record management, and benefits administration. Bidders should verify code assignment with the issuing procurement office before pursuing opportunities posted under 85822926, as the current activity does not reflect the code's stated clinical definition.
