UNSPSC 85512660: Restriction of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, temporary, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, temporary, 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 04V03DJ

UNSPSC 85512660 Restriction of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, temporary, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific interventional medical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that procedure or related devices. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and hospital-based emergency and specialty care for youth in custody — none of which align with aortic restriction devices or interventional vascular procedures. The code shows a clear mismatch between its taxonomic label and what state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The recent opportunities originate from disparate jurisdictions: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management), Santa Clara County, California (temporary health professional staffing), the City of Phoenix, Arizona (independent medical evaluation services), the City of Long Beach, California (surgical benefit carve-out program), and Harris County, Texas (emergency and specialty care for detained youth). No repeat buyers appear in the recent block, and the geographic spread spans Washington, Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas with no concentration pattern. Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's stated scope and the work posted under it, this code appears to be a labeling error in state and local procurement databases rather than a functional procurement vehicle for medical device or procedure purchasing. A vendor pursuing state and local work should verify actual code classification with issuing bodies before bidding, as continued reliance on this code for business development would target unrelated service categories.
