UNSPSC 85511134: Supplement middle colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement middle colic 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 04U80KZ

UNSPSC 85511134 Supplement middle colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract medical-procedure name does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code shows no recent solicitations for the vascular surgical procedure its title describes. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical carve-out benefit administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These are administrative and operational health-services activities—medical evaluation coordination, claims processing, provider networks, and staffing—rather than surgical interventions on specific blood vessels. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity-classification system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health-services procurements that do not fit more narrowly defined commodity or service codes.

The issuing bodies include county health systems and human-resources departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal procurement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026. Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Without evidence of relevant recent procurement matching the code's nominal scope, this code warrants close attention to verify whether opportunities are genuinely misclassified or whether the code has been repurposed in practice.
