UNSPSC 85511049: Restriction of hepatic artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of hepatic 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 04V30ZZ

UNSPSC 85511049 Restriction of hepatic artery, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with surgical services—instead they document procurement of healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and medical direction for emergency services. The code shows no relevant recent activity for its stated surgical scope; the opportunities tagged to it involve clinical staffing, benefit plan management, and healthcare coordination rather than hepatic artery restriction procedures. This represents a significant mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and what state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—Muscogee County Prison (part of Columbus Consolidated Government) in Georgia, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, San Mateo County Health in California, and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California—spanning prison healthcare services, county employee pharmacy benefits, county virtual primary care, mental health peer support pilots, and fire department medical direction. Given the disconnect between the code descriptor and the procurement activity, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for healthcare providers or medical device vendors pursuing state and local contracts. Business development professionals should verify that opportunities posted under this code actually match their service or product scope before pursuing; the code's current tagging appears to reflect administrative classification error rather than genuine alignment with surgical procedure procurement.
