UNSPSC 85512734: Supplement middle colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement middle colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 04U83KZ

UNSPSC 85512734 Supplement middle colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular supplementation — but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification do not align with the code's stated scope. Instead, the opportunities involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services entail the vascular surgical intervention the code describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies spanning county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city human resources divisions (City of Long Beach). The mismatch between the code's clinical specification and the operational scope of posted opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code does not see active, relevant procurement volume. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive or misapplied and focus instead on the specific commodity or service codes under which these health plan administration, medical surveillance, and clinical staffing services are actually being solicited.
