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 04SB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85512769 Reposition inferior mesenteric artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code bear no substantive relationship to that clinical description. The opportunities in the block span inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vascular repositioning surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and the actual goods and services being procured suggests either a data-entry error in how these opportunities were tagged or a systemic issue with how this particular code is being applied in state and local procurement systems. Entities posting opportunities — including Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — are soliciting administrative healthcare services, benefit management, and clinical staffing, not surgical procedures. Business development professionals evaluating activity under this code should verify the UNSPSC classification directly with issuing bodies or in the original solicitation documents before allocating pursuit resources, as the posted opportunities do not reflect the code's stated commodity scope.
