UNSPSC 85511252: Replacement of gastric artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of gastric 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 04R20KZ

UNSPSC 85511252 Replacement of gastric artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving vascular replacement—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it, which span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services in juvenile detention. None of these solicitations involve gastric artery replacement or related vascular procedures.

The recent opportunities instead reflect state and local governments purchasing occupational health services, benefits administration, and temporary medical staffing across multiple issuing bodies—state departments of transportation, county human resources divisions, municipal health systems, and county probation departments—with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or service line tied to the code's stated scope. The UNSPSC classification appears misaligned with the substantive procurement activity, rendering the code an unreliable signal for business development purposes in state and local contracting.
