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 04N20ZZ

UNSPSC 85511318 Release gastric artery, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—a clinical intervention performed on a single patient during a hospital episode. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code, however, show little alignment with the code's medical-procedure scope; instead, they reflect procurement of comprehensive healthcare administration, pharmacy management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and medical direction for emergency services—none of which constitute the release of a gastric artery in any operational sense. The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county governments (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida; Muscogee County, Georgia; San Mateo County, California), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), and county health departments operating behavioral health and correctional-facility health programs. This mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a misclassification at the source.

The recent opportunities posted under this code cover Columbus Consolidated Government's procurement of comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (RFP due May 15, 2026, for an annual contract currently costing $95,537.71 monthly); Collier County's procurement of Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (RFP due April 9, 2026); Monroe County's procurement of virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (RFP due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County's procurement of peer support services for peer workers under a Mental Health Services Act Innovation pilot (RFP posted February 25, 2026, with $580,000 total funding); and Santa Monica Fire Department's procurement of a medical director for EMS oversight (RFP posted February 25, 2026). Activity concentrates in Florida and California with isolated opportunities in Georgia and no evidence of the code's intended surgical-procedure scope in any recent posting.
