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 04N43ZZ

UNSPSC 85512836 Release splenic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous splenic artery embolization — yet the recent solicitations posted under this code are purchasing inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction services. None of these opportunities involve the percutaneous vascular procedure the code's name suggests. The mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the source system or a systematic divergence between the code's formal definition and the work being procured under it.

The recent opportunities show no meaningful activity in the actual commodity scope the code purports to cover. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting percutaneous splenic artery release services through standard RFP or IFB processes. If your firm provides vascular interventional services or percutaneous endovascular procedures, this code's current tagging will not reliably surface relevant state and local procurement activity — the opportunities appearing under it involve healthcare administration, professional services, and population health management rather than interventional radiology or surgery. Monitor the code for recategorization or systematic retagging that would surface the actual clinical services being requested, but do not rely on current postings under this code to identify genuine state and local demand for the procedure it nominates.
