UNSPSC 85511567: Dilation of inferior mesenteric artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of inferior mesenteric artery with drug-eluting 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 047B04Z

UNSPSC 85511567 Dilation of inferior mesenteric artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local contract activity, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure—and the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve dilation of mesenteric arteries or intraluminal devices; the code-tagging appears to be a jurisdictional classification mismatch rather than a signal of genuine procurement activity in the procedure line itself. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, counties, and health systems across multiple states.

The recent opportunities show no coherent pattern of state and local procurement under the code's nominal clinical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; and Collier County posted an RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026. Activity spans Washington, California, Arizona, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code definition and the actual work being bought, this code warrants close attention to future tagging before resource allocation—state and local procurement offices may be applying it inconsistently or in error.
