UNSPSC 85511445: Extirpation of matter from right external iliac artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right external 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 04CH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511445 Extirpation of matter from right external iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific arterial site; however, the six recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code procure occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with vascular surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging in the source jurisdiction databases or that this code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare services outside its nominal scope.

State and local issuers posting under this code in the past 60 days include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the code's mismatch with actual procurement scope, vendors pursuing opportunities in occupational medicine, disability medical evaluation, or health plan carve-out management should confirm the correct UNSPSC classification with each issuing body before bid preparation.
