UNSPSC 85511362: Occlusion of middle colic artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of middle colic artery with extraluminal 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 04L80CZ

UNSPSC 85511362 Occlusion of middle colic artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific interventional vascular surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related administrative healthcare services. These opportunities represent general healthcare administration and staffing rather than the discrete procedural intervention the code nominally designates.

The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or opportunistic tagging of broad healthcare initiatives to a narrowly defined procedural code. State and local jurisdictions posting medical service RFPs should be contacted directly to confirm accurate UNSPSC coding for healthcare staffing, administration, and evaluation work; this code does not reliably index procurement activity relevant to vascular surgical device suppliers or interventional radiologists.
