This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right internal 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 04BE0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511467 Excision of right internal iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the solicitations actually tagged with this code procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve vascular surgery or procedural excision. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities, suggesting little to no genuine market activity for the surgical service the code describes.

The recent opportunities show no instances of state or local governments soliciting vascular surgical procedures under this code. The issuing bodies include a city retirement system (Phoenix), a city health benefits office (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Because the code and the actual solicitations are fundamentally mismatched, this code carries no decision-relevant signal for vendors pursuing vascular surgical services or related medical devices in state and local markets. Firms should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before responding to opportunities tagged this way.
