This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of superior mesenteric 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 04B50ZZ

UNSPSC 85511476 Excision of superior mesenteric artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (excision of the superior mesenteric artery via open surgical approach), which is a clinical intervention outside the scope of goods and services that state and local procurement offices typically solicit. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source — including inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison, pharmacy benefit management services for Collier County, virtual primary and urgent care services for Monroe County, peer support services for San Mateo County behavioral health, and fire department medical direction for Santa Monica — represent administrative healthcare service contracts, program management, and physician consulting roles, not surgical procedures or the procurement of operative capabilities.

No recent state and local solicitations reflect actual demand for the surgical service the code describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the administrative and preventive healthcare services being solicited suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or a significant divergence between the code's intended scope and current procurement practice. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is actively used by state and local purchasing offices for genuine healthcare procurement or whether it represents archived or misclassified activity. No actionable market activity supports pursuit under this code at this time.
