UNSPSC 85512918: Occlusion of left uterine artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left uterine artery with extraluminal device, 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 04LF3CU

UNSPSC 85512918 Occlusion of left uterine artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure designation, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to the code's nominal scope. The six opportunities currently posted span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—none of which involve uterine artery occlusion or interventional radiology procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or a significant disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied and the actual procurement activity. State and local purchasing offices appear to be using this code identifier for general medical and health services contracting rather than the specific surgical procedure the code describes.

The issuing bodies comprise a mix of municipal health systems and departments, county governments, and state transportation agencies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System. Recent activity centers in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with due dates clustered in late September and early October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability determinations at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extensions. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement content and warrants clarification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
