UNSPSC 85511136: Supplement middle colic artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement middle colic artery with autologous 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 04U807Z

UNSPSC 85511136, Supplement middle colic artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — supplementation of the middle colic artery using autologous tissue in an open surgical approach — a highly specialized vascular surgical intervention that would typically fall within clinical practice at hospitals or surgical centers rather than procurement-based contracting. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care platform services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department emergency medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery, arterial supplementation, or tissue grafting — they cover population health service delivery, administrative healthcare management, and clinical oversight roles. The mismatch indicates either a coding error in the state and local procurement databases or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC commodity descriptor and the work actually being bought. No recent state and local opportunity in the source reflects the surgical procedure this code nominally names.
