UNSPSC 85511100: Principal arteries abdomen, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the abdomen with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 04.

UNSPSC 85511100 Principal arteries abdomen, open approach-part B is a Class code that shows substantial misalignment between its nominal scope—a surgical procedure classification—and the state and local health and human services opportunities actually tagged under it. The recent solicitations under this code are uniformly administrative and clinical service contracts for inmate healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none involving surgical procedures or operative interventions on abdominal arteries. State and local governments are using this code to classify ongoing healthcare operations, medical direction contracts, and benefits administration work, not surgical services.

The issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a county health department (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California, with the most current solicitation being Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, requiring five years of experience managing healthcare for facilities of comparable population and NCCHC accreditation. Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services is also active, covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million. Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026) seeks a vendor to serve approximately 2,300 county members through a comprehensive virtual care platform with 24/7 urgent care access. The code appears to be a data-classification artifact rather than an active procurement pathway for the surgical work the code nominally describes.
