This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right 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 047604Z

UNSPSC 85511582 Dilation of right colic artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, shows no meaningful connection between the code's medical procedure descriptor and the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular intervention or drug-eluting devices. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source system or that this code is being applied as a catch-all for medical services procurement without regard to specificity.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal HR departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation systems, county commissioners, and regional health systems — a broad cross-section of local government and special-purpose districts. Recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries system), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations, pursuit of opportunities under this code should focus on verifying the correct UNSPSC classification before submitting proposals, as the code appears to function as a miscellaneous bucket rather than a precise taxonomy marker for the services being requested.
