UNSPSC 85511116: Supplement right internal iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right internal iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 04UE0KZ

UNSPSC 85511116 "Supplement right internal iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent solicitations posted to state and local contract databases under or near this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities solicit vascular surgical procedures, implants, or tissue substitutes — the category name's core scope — and the code appears to have been applied to these health-services and staffing RFPs through administrative mismatch rather than accurate taxonomy mapping.

The mismatch suggests the code sees little or no actual procurement activity at the state and local level in its intended product category. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit under this code should verify whether the relevant buying jurisdictions (health systems, counties, municipalities) are using different codes to tag vascular surgical supply and implant acquisitions, or whether state and local procurement of this product line occurs through group purchasing organizations, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or centralized state healthcare supply contracts that fall outside standard UNSPSC tagging in public databases.
