UNSPSC 85511547: Dilation of left external iliac artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left external iliac 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 047J0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511547 Dilation of left external iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a surgical procedure for vascular intervention—shows no meaningful alignment with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve vascular surgery or the specific procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error in the source systems or an artifact of how state and local agencies are tagging healthcare service contracts at the procurement entry stage.

The few opportunities that do appear under this code span multiple healthcare service verticals across different issuing bodies. Columbus Consolidated Government's Muscogee County Prison is seeking comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP due May 15, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners is procuring Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 family members (RFP due April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida is requesting Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (RFP due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County Health is piloting peer support services for behavioral health workers totaling $580,000 in funding (RFP due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica Fire Department is recruiting a Medical Director for EMS oversight (RFP due October 16, 2025). No issuing body appears more than once, and the geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual healthcare administrative and service-delivery work being solicited, this code appears to carry limited relevance for vendors in surgical vascular procedures and should not be relied upon as a current market signal for clinical interventional work.
