This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from splenic artery, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85513057 Extirpation of matter from splenic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities recorded under it. The code nominally describes a specific interventional radiologic or vascular procedure, yet the six posted opportunities sourced to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve splenic artery intervention or percutaneous extirpation. The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in the source data or an artifact of how the opportunities were tagged in the underlying procurement system. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent work aligned with its nominal clinical scope.

The geographic spread of the opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state department), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though the coding and scope divergence renders geographic characterization of genuinely relevant activity unclear. No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated activity under this code is evident from recent solicitations. Prospective vendors should verify whether this code accurately reflects their service lines or products before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85513057, and should seek clarification from issuing bodies on the intended scope when code-to-opportunity misalignment appears in RFPs, RFQs, or other notices.
