UNSPSC 85511315: Release superior mesenteric artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release superior mesenteric artery, 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 04N50ZZ

UNSPSC 85511315 Release superior mesenteric artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The code describes a surgical procedure — a specific clinical intervention — but state and local government purchasing under this UNSPSC designation covers healthcare administration and management services, not surgical procedures themselves. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC tagging or a categorical misclassification in the indexing system used by state and local procurement offices.

The recent opportunities posted against this code span jail and prison medical services, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve the release of a superior mesenteric artery or any operative clinical service. Issuers include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and benefits divisions (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Without opportunities that actually require the procedure named in the code, this UNSPSC category shows no actionable market signal for clinical surgical vendors pursuing state and local contracts.
