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 04N03ZZ

UNSPSC 85512840 Release abdominal aorta, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical or procedural services matching the code's stated description; instead, they represent broader healthcare administration, benefit management, and clinical support services. State and local governments are using this code incorrectly or inconsistently to tag opportunities that span inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support programs for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve abdominal aorta procedures or percutaneous vascular intervention. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), alongside county health and behavioral health divisions.

The geographic spread encompasses Florida, Georgia, and California, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026). San Mateo County's behavioral health RFP for peer support services and the Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director round out the recent set. The code's use appears to reflect a tagging error or miscategorization rather than genuine procurement activity in vascular surgery or interventional procedures, suggesting limited relevance for vendors in that clinical specialty.
