This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of middle colic artery with drainage device, 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 049800Z

UNSPSC 85511524 Drainage of middle colic artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that appear in the recent-activity block—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are healthcare administration and staffing services wholly unrelated to interventional vascular procedures on the middle colic artery. The code is a procedural billing or clinical classification borrowed from medical coding taxonomies; state and local governments do not procure drainage procedures as line items or bid them competitively. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the practical scope of state and local purchasing suggests this code was applied to opportunities in error or reflects a data-tagging anomaly.

No meaningful procurement signal exists under this code for business development purposes at the state and local level. Vendors in healthcare services, staffing, and benefits administration should disregard this code and focus on solicitations explicitly tagged under healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management codes instead.
