This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left colic 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 04C73ZZ

UNSPSC 85513054 Extirpation of matter from left colic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific interventional cardiology procedure, but the recent opportunities posted against this code cover medical administration, employee health benefits management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve percutaneous vascular intervention.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or a systematic misalignment between this code's title and how procurement offices are tagging health services work. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have all posted recent activity against this code, but the solicitations cover independent medical evaluation administration for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, occupational medicine surveillance programs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing placement. None of this activity falls within interventional vascular procedures. No recent opportunities directly related to the code's stated scope are present in the source material.
