UNSPSC 85511050: Restriction of hepatic artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of hepatic artery with intraluminal device, 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 04V30DZ

UNSPSC 85511050 Restriction of hepatic artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span insurance administration, benefits consulting, occupational health compliance, and clinical workforce management. None of these opportunities involve hepatic artery procedures or vascular surgery procurement. The mismatch signals either systematic miscoding in the posting systems or opportunistic use of a clinical-procedure code to surface administrative and staffing services not germane to its technical scope.

The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile detention authorities (Harris County), and county commissioners' boards (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without clear alignment between the code's technical definition and the work actually being solicited, the code does not present a coherent procurement opportunity for vendors positioned to perform hepatic artery restriction procedures or related surgical services. Firms pursuing state and local contracts in medical services, benefits administration, or clinical staffing should verify coding accuracy before committing resources to responses under this code.
