UNSPSC 85513079: Excision of gastric artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of gastric 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 04B23ZZ

UNSPSC 85513079 Excision of gastric artery, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, does not align with the scope of work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code designation. The recent opportunities posting under this code show no procurement activity for gastric artery excision procedures or related clinical interventions. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are using this code tag to solicit comprehensive health services and medical staffing support—occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgery carve-out benefits, and youth detention medical care. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical procedure and the real purchasing activity suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in the source data or that this code has been repurposed for administrative and ancillary health services procurement rather than operative procedures.

The issuing bodies span diverse state and local sectors: Arizona municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), California municipalities (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington state transportation (WSDOT), Texas county detention systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's documented misalignment with actual purchasing intent, vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under this designation.
