UNSPSC 85512812: Repair middle colic artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair middle colic 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 04Q83ZZ

UNSPSC 85512812 Repair middle colic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities posted under or near this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County), peer support services (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica)—span public health administration, behavioral health, and emergency services contracting, none of which align with the code's nominal scope of cardiovascular surgical repair. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this Commodity code does not correspond to state and local procurement activity as currently practiced.

State and local jurisdictions do procure medical, pharmacy, and health services through their procurement systems, but the tagging of those opportunities under a procedure-specific ICD or CPT-equivalent code rather than under broader health services or administrative codes indicates either miscategorization or a divergence between how clinical taxonomies map to procurement classifications. If pursuing health services contracting with state and local buyers, firms should focus on the actual service categories these jurisdictions are soliciting—managed care administration, employee health benefits, correctional health systems, and public health operations—rather than rely on this code to surface relevant opportunities.
