This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 04L83ZZ

UNSPSC 85512940 Occlusion of middle colic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific interventional radiology procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical care carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations fall within medical administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing domains rather than percutaneous vascular intervention procedures. The mix of issuing bodies includes city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health benefit purchasers (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county employee health coalitions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), representing a diverse cross-section of state and local healthcare and benefits administration.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no particular geographic concentration evident in the sample. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMSFP26001, due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) with no volume guarantees but five-year qualified-vendor list potential. The code shows substantial mislabeling relative to actual procurement content and warrants reassessment for accuracy in state and local taxonomy alignment.
