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 04V23ZZ

UNSPSC 85512652 Restriction of gastric artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—endovascular gastric artery restriction—but the posted solicitations under this code actually cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involves gastric artery restriction or related procedural interventions. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement system or a code misapplication by issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special healthcare purchasing entities (Santa Clara Health System). Among the six recent solicitations, three involve medical benefits administration or occupational health compliance (Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, WSDOT occupational medical surveillance), two involve evaluation or staffing of medical personnel (Phoenix independent medical evaluation, Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing), and one involves information gathering on emergency and specialty services (Harris County juvenile detention healthcare). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows limited decision-relevance for firms pursuing work tied to its nominal procedural scope; business development professionals should treat this code with caution and verify the actual nature of future opportunities before responding.
