UNSPSC 85511175: Reposition superior mesenteric artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition superior mesenteric 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 04S50ZZ

UNSPSC 85511175 Reposition superior mesenteric artery, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—the surgical repositioning of the superior mesenteric artery via open surgical approach—which falls within clinical medicine and hospital-based inpatient care. State and local governments do not typically procure individual surgical procedures as discrete line items; instead, they contract for comprehensive healthcare services, including hospital capacity, emergency care, specialist services, and facility management. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show the mismatch plainly: the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services, San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for behavioral health workers, and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for an EMS medical director none involve procurement of vascular surgical procedures or surgical reposition services.

State and local procurement under this code shows no relevant recent activity. The opportunities posted under the UNSPSC 85511175 identifier are unrelated to vascular surgery or surgical reposition services and appear to reflect a classification error in the posting system rather than genuine procurement intent for the code's nominal scope.
