UNSPSC 85511373: Occlusion of splenic artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of splenic 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 04L40DZ

UNSPSC 85511373 Occlusion of splenic artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular intervention on the spleen — but the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with that scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical benefits carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued a request for information on emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve splenic artery occlusion procedures or related vascular interventions.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests either a classification error in the source data or a misalignment between how state and local procurement offices tag opportunities and how UNSPSC Commodity codes are defined. State and local governments soliciting under this code are pursuing medical administration, benefits management, occupational health screening, and temporary staffing — not specific surgical procedures. No geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from the recent opportunities. Firms pursuing this code should verify actual procurement intent with issuing bodies directly rather than relying on the code assignment alone.
