This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left external iliac 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 049J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85513105 Drainage of left external iliac artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous drainage of the left external iliac artery — yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These opportunities represent administrative and staffing functions in healthcare delivery rather than the procurement of a defined surgical procedure or related device.

State and local governments do not typically procure individual surgical procedures via RFP or RFQ; clinicians and hospital systems select surgical approaches based on patient need and clinical judgment within existing service contracts or fee-for-service arrangements. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a vendor miscoding of submissions. No actionable procurement signal exists under this code for firms providing surgical procedure services, devices, or related supplies. The opportunities shown — independent medical evaluation, PBM administration, occupational surveillance, and temporary staffing — should be evaluated under their respective functional UNSPSC codes rather than under this surgical-procedure code.
