UNSPSC 85512804: Repair right external iliac artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right external iliac artery, 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 04QH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85512804 Repair right external iliac artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees and retirees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve vascular surgery or percutaneous arterial repair. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification that has been misapplied to broader healthcare contracting and administrative services in state and local procurement systems.

The source contains no solicitations for the repair procedures, surgical equipment, or interventional services that the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's medical taxonomy and the actual procurement activity suggests either a coding error in the state and local opportunities database or a misalignment between UNSPSC healthcare service codes and how jurisdictions classify healthcare management and support contracts. State and local buyers seeking vascular repair services or interventional medical equipment should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing procurement office rather than rely on this code's recent activity.
