UNSPSC 85511700: Principal arteries abdomen, open approach-part H

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the abdomen with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 04.

UNSPSC 85511700 Principal arteries abdomen, open approach—part H is a Class code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are healthcare administration and management services—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—rather than surgical procedures on abdominal arteries. State and local governments are not procuring surgical interventions under this code; instead, they are buying operational healthcare contracts, managed care services, and clinical administration roles. The issuing bodies are county commissioners (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). This suggests the code may have been applied in error by procurement offices tagging healthcare service agreements, or the code has drifted from its surgical procedure intent into broader healthcare contracting. No coherent buying pattern under the code's actual medical definition is evident.

The recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and California. The most substantive opportunity is the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026), which seeks comprehensive healthcare delivery for approximately 576 inmates with current monthly costs of $95,537.71, requiring five years of comparable jail or prison healthcare experience and NCCHC accreditation; the contract is two years with three optional one-year renewals. Collier County, Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (posted April 9, 2026) covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million and a three-year initial term. Monroe County, Florida solicited virtual primary and urgent care services (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for approximately 2,300 county employees and dependents. Given the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity, pursuit under this code is not recommended unless the issuing body explicitly confirms alignment with surgical services procurement.
