UNSPSC 85511365: Occlusion of left colic artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left 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 04L70CZ

UNSPSC 85511365, Occlusion of left colic artery with extraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific interventional radiology or vascular surgery procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under this code. The six most recent state and local solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve arterial occlusion procedures or vascular intervention. The mismatch indicates either a data-quality issue in how opportunities were coded or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual procurement activity.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine state and local healthcare purchasing across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types—county health systems (Santa Clara County, Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County). However, because none of these solicitations involve vascular or interventional procedures matching the code's stated scope, this code does not present a meaningful procurement signal for vendors specializing in arterial occlusion devices or related vascular services. Firms pursuing state and local medical device or surgical-service contracts should verify that opportunities are coded to the correct UNSPSC commodity before investing business-development effort.
