UNSPSC 85512838: Release gastric artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release gastric 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 04N23ZZ

UNSPSC 85512838 Release gastric artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code appears to describe a highly specialized surgical procedure (endovascular release of the gastric artery via percutaneous intervention), but the five recent state and local solicitations posted between February and April 2026—covering inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—do not procure or reference this specific procedure or related surgical services. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities against this UNSPSC category or minimal state and local demand for this particular service line through public procurement channels.

The recent opportunities in the block focus instead on healthcare administration, management services, and delivery infrastructure (inmate healthcare contracts, pharmacy network management, virtual care platforms, peer support programs, and medical direction) rather than discrete surgical interventions. No state or local solicitation names gastric artery procedures, endovascular techniques, or closely related surgical services. Given the narrow clinical scope of the code and the absence of relevant recent activity, this code does not present a clear procurement pathway for vendors serving state and local healthcare purchasers. Firms targeting state and local health-related opportunities should examine higher-tier UNSPSC families covering healthcare service delivery and administration rather than this Commodity code.
