UNSPSC 85511046: Restriction of splenic artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of splenic artery, open 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 04V40ZZ

UNSPSC 85511046 Restriction of splenic artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to a surgical procedure—restriction of the splenic artery using open surgical technique—but the recent opportunities tagged under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county workforce, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve splenic artery restriction or the operative procedure the code describes. The mismatch indicates either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that the code is being misapplied to healthcare administration and workforce support services that fall outside its nominal scope.

Given this disconnect between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited, the code presents minimal relevance for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in their core domain. The tagged opportunities reflect general healthcare service procurement by counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts in Florida, Georgia, and California, but they do not represent demand for the specific surgical procedure or operative expertise the code nominally covers. Firms focused on surgical services, physician credentialing for operative procedures, or operating-room support should seek opportunities under codes aligned with surgical services, facility-based care, or physician contracting—not under this code based on current posting patterns.
