UNSPSC 85511155: Supplement celiac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement celiac 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 04U10KZ

UNSPSC 85511155 Supplement celiac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — supplementation of the celiac artery using synthetic or donor tissue in an open surgical approach — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing jurisdictions or a data classification error that has rendered the code unreliable for identifying actual procurement activity in this service family.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as unreliable for procurement planning and verify actual scope through source RFPs and RFQs rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification alone.
