UNSPSC 85511477: Excision of splenic 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 04B40ZZ

UNSPSC 85511477 Excision of splenic artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve splenic artery excision or surgical interventions of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a data error in code assignment or a systematic misclassification at the source.

The recent opportunities show activity from diverse issuing bodies including county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), but they describe administrative healthcare services, managed care delivery, and occupational health support rather than surgical procedures. Given the absence of any solicitations for surgical services, implants, instruments, or related medical devices under this code, the code shows no relevant recent activity for business development professionals pursuing state and local contracts aligned with its stated scope.
