UNSPSC 85511147: Supplement splenic artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement splenic artery with synthetic 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 04U40JZ

UNSPSC 85511147 Supplement splenic artery with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure to reinforce the splenic artery using synthetic material; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical interventions, vascular procedures, or medical devices related to splenic artery repair. Instead, the four recent solicitations span inmate healthcare contracting, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the splenic artery procedure the code names.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for diverse healthcare services. The actual opportunities show issuing bodies in Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners for pharmacy benefits, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners for virtual care), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for jail medical services), California (San Mateo County Health BHRS for peer support services, Santa Monica Fire Department for EMS medical direction), and span RFP notices with response dates ranging from April 2026 through June 2026 for the active procurements. Given the procedural mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code carries minimal signal value for firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts and appears unreliable for filtering or targeting opportunities in this space.
