UNSPSC 85511200: Principal arteries abdomen, open approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the abdomen with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 04.

UNSPSC 85511200 Principal arteries abdomen, open approach-part C is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—covering inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—represent healthcare administration, managed care, and clinical staffing services that fall outside the surgical procedural nomenclature the code nominally describes. The source presents a classification mismatch: the code appears designed for a specific surgical intervention rather than the healthcare service contracting and benefit administration that state and local buyers are actually soliciting under it.

The issuing bodies span diverse jurisdictions including a consolidated county government (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a county health department (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic spread across Georgia, Florida, and California reflects opportunistic tagging rather than concentrated activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows no consistent procurement pattern and appears to be incorrectly applied to healthcare service management and staffing contracts rather than surgical procedures.
