UNSPSC 85511336: Occlusion of left uterine artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left uterine artery with intraluminal device, 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 04LF0DU

UNSPSC 85511336 (Occlusion of left uterine artery with intraluminal device, open approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific clinical procedure — minimally invasive occlusion of a uterine artery using an intraluminal device — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve procurement of that procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with uterine artery occlusion services or implantable vascular devices.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited indicates either a coding error in the source data or a jurisdictional practice of using clinical procedure codes to tag health services contracts that do not involve those specific procedures. State and local procurement offices do not regularly solicit uterine artery occlusion procedures as standalone line items; such procedures are typically performed within hospital or ambulatory surgical center service contracts under different UNSPSC families. Absent clear evidence of recent, relevant opportunities under this code, the data does not support a pursue recommendation.
