UNSPSC 85511164: Reposition right external iliac artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right external iliac artery, 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 04SH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511164 "Reposition right external iliac artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with vascular surgery or any clinical procedural work. The five most recent opportunities in the dataset—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—represent administrative healthcare contracting, benefits management, and program oversight rather than operative vascular interventions. The code designation appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error; the opportunities are genuinely healthcare-related but fall outside the scope of a surgical procedure code. State and local procurement offices do not solicit open surgical procedures through competitive RFPs; such services are typically provided through hospital contracts or staff employment agreements.

No relevant recent state and local procurement activity exists under this code. The misalignment between the code's clinical-procedure name and the actual healthcare-management work posted against it makes this code unsuitable for business development targeting in surgical services. Vendors pursuing state and local healthcare work should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for administrative services (such as PBM administration, occupational health programs, or behavioral health services) rather than relying on this code, which does not reflect actual buying patterns in the market.
