This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right colic artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous 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 04V63CZ

UNSPSC 85512642, Restriction of right colic artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local government procurement. The three recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit management for employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—are health plan administration, occupational health screening, and staffing services unrelated to the specific vascular intervention procedure the code nominally describes. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classifier that does not align with the scope of state and local government contracting activity.

State and local procurement bodies do not typically purchase specific physician-performed procedures as line items through competitive solicitation. The misalignment between the code's clinical descriptor and the general health services and staffing work actually posted suggests either data-entry error in the procurement source or inappropriate code assignment by the issuing bodies. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify whether their target customers are soliciting under correctly mapped UNSPSC codes before investing pursuit effort.
