UNSPSC 85511385: Occlusion of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of abdominal aorta 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 04L00DZ

UNSPSC 85511385, Occlusion of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — an endovascular or open surgical intervention to block blood flow in the abdominal aorta — yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no procurement of that procedure, the devices required for it, or related clinical supplies. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve the abdominal aortic occlusion procedure described in the code's name.

No recent state and local contract opportunities reflect genuine demand for the clinical service this Commodity code describes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work posted under it suggests either miscoding within state and local procurement databases or that this particular UNSPSC code does not currently reflect an active category of state and local purchasing. A business development professional evaluating opportunities in this space should verify the correct code assignment with the issuing bodies directly, as the recent activity under this code does not support a pursue decision based on the code's stated scope.
