UNSPSC 85513056: Extirpation of matter from superior mesenteric artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from superior mesenteric 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 04C53ZZ

UNSPSC 85513056 Extirpation of matter from superior mesenteric artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title refers to a clinical interventional procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect vascular or interventional medical work. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which align with the code's stated scope of percutaneous arterial intervention. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding or vendor-system tagging errors within state and local procurement platforms. No recent opportunities in the most-recent-opportunities block actually solicit extirpation of arterial matter or related clinical interventions.

Activity under this code does not reflect the procedural scope the UNSPSC name describes. Recent postings include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent disability medical evaluation services with a five-year term and $750,000 maximum compensation (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program covering centers of excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology services (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spend near $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies span state agencies, county health systems, city retirement and human resources offices, and county procurement divisions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the code's disconnect from actual procurement activity and the diversity of unrelated health services being solicited, this code should be considered inactive for business development purposes until platform-level tagging is corrected.
