UNSPSC 85512944: Occlusion of left colic artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left colic artery with intraluminal 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 04L73DZ

UNSPSC 85512944 Occlusion of left colic artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific interventional radiologic procedure — does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The recent-opportunities block shows no procurement activity aligned with that clinical code; instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, health benefit plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing medical device, surgical intervention, or diagnostic-procedure contracts in the state and local market.

Without a clear connection between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being procured by state and local bodies, business development professionals should verify whether this code has been misapplied to non-device healthcare services, or whether procurement volume under the code's true scope is currently minimal. The issuing bodies in the opportunity block — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are acquiring healthcare administration and staffing services rather than medical devices or vascular interventions, suggesting potential tagging error or category drift in the source data.
