UNSPSC 85512954: Occlusion of splenic artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of splenic 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 04L43CZ

UNSPSC 85512954 Occlusion of splenic artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific interventional radiological medical device procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve splenic artery occlusion or extraluminal devices. This represents a significant mismatch between the code's technical clinical scope and the actual work being solicited by state and local buyers.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span state health systems, county departments, city retirement boards, and specialty medical service providers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they reflect administrative and preventive occupational health services, care coordination programs, and temporary staffing rather than interventional vascular procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the clinical procedure it nominally describes. State and local procurement professionals pursuing work in this area should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body before bid preparation, as the current tagging does not reflect the contractual scope.
