UNSPSC 85511900: Principal arteries abdomen, open approach-part J

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 85511900 Principal arteries abdomen, open approach—part J is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical nomenclature—describing a surgical procedure involving abdominal arteries—does not match the scope of work in the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical intervention or the procedural specificity the code's name implies. State and local bodies issuing these solicitations include county corrections departments, county boards of commissioners managing employee health benefits, county health departments, and municipal fire departments.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica). The most recent representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code assignment appears to reflect a data-entry or taxonomy-matching error rather than substantive procurement activity in surgical services; firms pursuing these opportunities should verify current code assignments with issuing bodies before submission, as the procedural focus of UNSPSC 85511900 does not align with the healthcare administration and delivery services these jurisdictions are actually buying.
