This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right external iliac artery, 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 04CH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85513045 Extirpation of matter from right external iliac artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on a named blood vessel; recent opportunities tagged under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These procurement activities fall outside the scope of vascular intervention implied by the code name and reflect medical administrative and staffing services rather than the procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent opportunities suggests either a tagging error or that this code is rarely used in state and local procurement. The opportunities on record span four distinct issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with no geographic concentration and no pattern suggesting recurring procurement volume or standardized buying behavior under this code. No evidence supports treating this code as an active procurement category for business development purposes.
