UNSPSC 85511370: Occlusion of superior mesenteric artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of superior mesenteric 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 04L50DZ

UNSPSC 85511370 Occlusion of superior mesenteric artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—specifically an interventional vascular technique—yet the recent opportunities tagged to it reflect procurement of administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans. These opportunities span independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and centers-of-excellence surgical networks for municipal employee populations. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or inconsistent application of UNSPSC taxonomy to these health-services procurements.

The issuing bodies span municipal health and human resources departments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government entities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the code's disconnection from the actual work being solicited, this code warrants skip status unless your firm specializes in vascular surgical implants, in which case further investigation of the issuing bodies' procurement intent is warranted before committing resources.
