UNSPSC 85513077: Excision of splenic artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of splenic 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 04B43ZZ

UNSPSC 85513077, Excision of splenic artery, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a clinical procedure but shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate healthcare contracts, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve splenic artery excision or percutaneous vascular intervention. The mismatch suggests the code was applied incorrectly to healthcare service solicitations rather than procedure-specific medical contracting, and the code itself does not appear to capture how state and local governments are actually buying healthcare services or clinical procedures at present.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county government (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), county health services divisions (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). The geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California across early 2026. Representative recent opportunities include RFP No. 26-0008 from Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division, posted April 15, 2026, seeking comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, posted April 9, 2026 (due April 9, 2026); and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services, posted March 14, 2026 (due April 16, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not align with the work being solicited, this code warrants close examination before pursuit—the tagging appears systematic rather than opportunistic, but the underlying opportunities do not reflect the code's stated clinical focus.
