UNSPSC 85511475: Excision of 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 04B60ZZ

UNSPSC 85511475 Excision of right colic artery, open approach shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The Commodity code describes a surgical procedure — specifically the removal of the right colic artery using an open surgical technique — and does not align with the scope of work actually appearing in recent state and local solicitations posted under this code.

The five recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support for peer workers under a Mental Health Services Act innovation pilot (San Mateo County, California), and emergency medical services medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). None of these solicitations involve surgical intervention, vascular procedures, or the specific clinical work the code nominates. The mismatch indicates either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the code's definition and how state and local procurement systems are applying it. Business development professionals should verify the code's applicability against their own service lines before committing resources; opportunities under this code may not represent genuine demand for the surgical procedures the taxonomy describes.
