This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of splenic artery, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85512952 Occlusion of splenic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the state and local procurement activity the code actually captures. Recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve splenic artery occlusion or percutaneous interventions; instead, they reflect a broad range of health-benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation, and clinical staffing services—work fundamentally unrelated to the code's stated definition. The code appears to be a taxonomy misfire in the state and local system, and firms evaluating opportunities under it should treat the nominal code title as unreliable guidance for procurement scope.

Recent solicitations attributed to this code include independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026), surgical-benefits carve-out program administration (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), occupational health surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026), and temporary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single geography or jurisdiction type dominant. Buyers include county governments, cities, state health and transportation departments, and county health systems. Given the code's disconnect from the actual work being solicited, pursuit decisions should rely on matching your service capability to individual opportunity scopes rather than the code taxonomy.
