This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of inferior 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 049B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511517 Drainage of inferior mesenteric artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency and inpatient hospital care — none of which align with vascular surgical intervention or the specific procedure named in the code. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with taxonomy codes that do not match the work being bought; this code appears to be an example of that mismatch.

The opportunities that are posted reflect scattered issuing bodies across multiple states and sectors. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel. The County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These solicitations reflect procurement in occupational health, employee benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing — domains unrelated to the code's nominal vascular surgical scope. No recent state or local opportunities appear to be actively soliciting drainage of inferior mesenteric artery procedures or comparable vascular surgical services.
