UNSPSC 85512943: Occlusion of left colic artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left 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 04L73ZZ

UNSPSC 85512943 Occlusion of left colic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code number in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific vascular intervention procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit management programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the vascular procedure named in the code, indicating a systematic mislabeling issue in the issuing agencies' procurement systems rather than coherent procurement activity under the code's stated scope.

The geographic spread of the mistagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health plan administrators, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, and county human resources divisions. Recent representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) budgeted at $750,000 over five years, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit center-of-excellence carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). This code presents no meaningful procurement signal for vendors; pursue only if your firm can connect the mislabeled opportunities to your service lines independently of the code classification.
