UNSPSC 85511551: Dilation of right external iliac artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right external iliac artery with intraluminal 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 047H0DZ

UNSPSC 85511551, Dilation of right external iliac artery with intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under this code in state and local procurement. The code nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it. The solicitations posted under this code are for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the performance of the named vascular procedure. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader healthcare service procurement rather than for procurement of the specific procedure itself.

The opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). None of these solicitations involve vascular procedures or surgical service delivery in the orthopedic, cardiovascular, or procedural sense implied by the code name. Business development professionals evaluating this code for vascular procedure work or related medical device placement should treat recent activity as not predictive and investigate whether their target customers use a different UNSPSC code or internal taxonomy for similar work.
