UNSPSC 85512965: Occlusion of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of abdominal aorta 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 04L03DZ

UNSPSC 85512965 Occlusion of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving placement of an intraluminal device to occlude the abdominal aorta; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve that procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with aortic occlusion devices or the procedural scope the code name suggests.

The mismatch indicates either that state and local procurement offices have applied this code as a catchall for health-related services broadly, or that the tagging reflects administrative error rather than accurate commodity classification. No current opportunities appear to solicit aortic occlusion devices, related implantable medical technology, or procedural services specific to that intervention. A vendor pursuing state and local work under this code should verify whether the code genuinely reflects buying demand in the target jurisdictions, as the recent record does not support active procurement aligned with the code's nominal medical device scope.
