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 04Q70ZZ

UNSPSC 85511273 Repair left colic artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The five recent opportunities in the block span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical repair of the left colic artery or any procedural medical service consistent with the code's scope. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is being misapplied to health services contracting broadly.

The recent opportunities do reflect substantive activity among county and municipal issuing bodies procuring health services: Muscogee County (Georgia) is seeking comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services under an RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County (Florida) is procuring pharmacy benefit management services for its employee health plan covering approximately 7,200 members; Monroe County (Florida) is soliciting virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members; San Mateo County (California) is funding a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot at $580,000; and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) is recruiting a physician medical director for EMS oversight. The geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, and California, with no discernible pattern tied to the Commodity code itself. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, pursuit under this code would require clarification with the relevant procurement office regarding proper code classification for the health services category being targeted.
