UNSPSC 85511140: Supplement right colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right 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 04U60KZ

UNSPSC 85511140 Supplement right colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular supplementation using non-autologous tissue — but recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the procedure's medical scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve colic artery supplementation or vascular surgery performed on state and local employees or beneficiaries. The mismatch appears to be a misclassification at posting rather than a signal that state and local procurement offices are routinely purchasing this specific procedure. State and local health programs may procure vascular surgery services, but they are not doing so under this particular UNSPSC code in current activity.

The recent-opportunities block contains six postings, five of which involve health benefit administration, occupational medical evaluation, and temporary clinical staffing across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No issuing body has posted a procurement for the service described by UNSPSC 85511140 itself. Until the code reflects authentic state and local demand for colic artery supplementation procedures — whether through direct provider contracting, bundled surgical networks, or occupational health program delivery — activity under this code does not merit pursuit as a procurement line.
