UNSPSC 85511245: Replacement of superior mesenteric artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of superior mesenteric artery with autologous 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 04R507Z

UNSPSC 85511245 Replacement of superior mesenteric artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that reflects a narrow clinical surgical procedure but does not align with the state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve vascular surgery; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern arterial replacement surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity to the procedure it nominally describes, and the mismatch suggests either mis-tagging in the source data or misalignment between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement systems are applying it.

The source contains six recent state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, including the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program, due October 7, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026). These opportunities represent administrative healthcare procurement and workforce services rather than direct surgical procedures, indicating that buyers using this code are seeking to administer or manage healthcare benefits and staffing rather than to procure the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.
