UNSPSC 85511427: Insertion of intraluminal device into right colic artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into right colic 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 04H60DZ

UNSPSC 85511427, Insertion of intraluminal device into right colic artery, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare and occupational medical services procurement — disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular interventional procedures or intraluminal device placement. The code itself describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the opportunities posted against it span administrative health benefit contracting, medical staffing, and occupational health surveillance. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that this Commodity code is being used as a placeholder category for broader healthcare services when a more appropriate code is unavailable.

State and local buyers posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county commissioners (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a two-year initial term and proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the systematic disconnect between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being procured, pursuit of opportunities under this code should be approached with caution pending clarification of the correct UNSPSC classification.
