UNSPSC 85511257: Replacement of celiac artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of celiac 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 04R107Z

UNSPSC 85511257 Replacement of celiac artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue grafting. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the state and local issuing bodies have tagged it to general medical staffing, benefits administration, occupational health screening, and detention healthcare services.

The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by participating procurement offices or a data classification error. Geographic activity spans Washington State (occupational surveillance), Arizona (pension medical evaluations), California (employee health benefits and temporary staffing), Texas (youth detention healthcare), and Florida (pharmacy benefit management), but the work solicited under this code bears no relationship to vascular surgery or celiac artery replacement. No representative opportunity in the recent block addresses the procedure described by the code's name. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code for business development purposes should treat it as showing no relevant recent activity and verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
