UNSPSC 85511364: Occlusion of left colic artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left colic 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 04L70DZ

UNSPSC 85511364 Occlusion of left colic artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity evident in the recent opportunities listed. The code describes a highly specific invasive cardiovascular procedure (occlusion of a named blood vessel using an intraluminal device), yet the six recent solicitations posted by state and local bodies—from the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve vascular occlusion devices or procedures of the type the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the sourcing system or that this code does not reflect the actual service procurement patterns state and local governments are conducting at present. State and local bodies are actively buying health services administration, medical staffing, and benefits management, but not the procedural intervention this code names. No representative recent opportunities exist under this code as defined. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the classification before investing in proposal development.
