UNSPSC 85511378: Occlusion of gastric artery, 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 04L20ZZ

UNSPSC 85511378 Occlusion of gastric artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular or open occlusion of the gastric artery — yet the most recent opportunities tagged under it reflect a broad mix of unrelated health services purchasing, from occupational medical surveillance to pharmacy benefit management to temporary clinical staffing to medical record summarization for pension disability determinations. None of these solicitations involve gastric artery occlusion or related vascular surgical services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement data system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services work that does not fit elsewhere. Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RFP, October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (RFP, October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach procuring a surgical procedure carve-out and center-of-excellence benefit program for employee health plans (RFP, October 7, 2026), and Collier County issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees (deadline April 9, 2026). Business development professionals should verify the correct code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities under this code or flag the disconnect to their internal taxonomy compliance team.
