UNSPSC 85511414: Insertion of infusion device into left common iliac artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left common iliac 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 04HD03Z

UNSPSC 85511414 "Insertion of infusion device into left common iliac artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the opportunities in the source material reflect diverse healthcare procurement — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve insertion of infusion devices into iliac arteries or related interventional vascular procedures. The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity signals either systematic miscoding in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this UNSPSC category as a catchall for healthcare services and staffing that does not fit elsewhere in the taxonomy. Bidders treating this code as a gateway to healthcare services procurement should verify issuing-body coding practices and the specific scope of work in each RFP before pursuing. The diversity of buyers — city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation systems, and health systems — and the absence of repeat solicitations under this code suggest that any contracting volume here derives from miscoding rather than a coherent procurement family.
