UNSPSC 85511608: Destruction of right common iliac artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right common 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 045C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85511608 Destruction of right common iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the destruction of a common iliac artery or surgical intervention of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the solicitation-tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are applying it in practice.

State and local governments show no recent procurement activity aligned with the code's stated scope. The opportunities appearing in the recent-activity record—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's emergency and specialty medical services RFI (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—represent administrative healthcare contracting and staffing procurement, not surgical services. Vendors considering this code should treat it as inactive for state and local business-development purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under 85511608.
