UNSPSC 85511576: Dilation of middle colic 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 middle colic 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 047804Z

UNSPSC 85511576 (Dilation of middle colic artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach) is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The nominal code describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, pension board medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, youth detention healthcare, and surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees—none of which involve middle colic artery intervention. The mismatch suggests either a systematic cataloging error or that the code is being applied to broader health services categories without alignment to its procedural definition.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine state and local health services procurement across multiple issuing bodies (Arizona city pension boards, Washington state ferries administration, California county health systems, Florida county commissioners, and Texas juvenile justice) and geographies (Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas). However, because the code itself bears no relationship to what is actually being bought—independent medical evaluation for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy administration, temporary staffing pools, and inpatient specialty care—this Commodity code carries no useful decision signal for vendors seeking state and local opportunities in cardiovascular intervention services or related medical procedure lines.
