UNSPSC 85511538: Drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of celiac 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 049100Z

UNSPSC 85511538 Drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, hospital emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and independent medical evaluations for pension determinations — none of which involve drainage of the celiac artery. The code appears to be a misclassification or artifact in the state and local procurement taxonomy system rather than a genuine category under which governments are actively buying the named procedure.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington based on recent postings, but the lack of code alignment means these opportunities should not be treated as representative activity under UNSPSC 85511538. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) opened a qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Without recent solicitations that actually match the celiac artery drainage procedure described in the code name, this category does not present a meaningful procurement opportunity for firms pursuing state and local contracts.
