UNSPSC 85512966: Occlusion of abdominal aorta with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of abdominal aorta 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 04L03CZ

UNSPSC 85512966 Occlusion of abdominal aorta with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no activity aligned with its stated clinical scope in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific minimally invasive vascular surgical procedure — percutaneous placement of an extraluminal device to occlude the abdominal aorta — yet the recent-opportunities block contains six solicitations spanning occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve the procurement or delivery of the named procedure or related implantable devices.

The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement source or that the code is being misapplied to general healthcare service categories that do not align with its commodity definition. Business development professionals evaluating this code should note that it does not reflect a meaningful market signal for medical device procurement, vascular surgical services, or hospital procedures under current state and local contracting activity. The code appears inactive for its stated purpose.
