UNSPSC 85513117: Drainage of inferior mesenteric artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of inferior 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 049B3ZZ

UNSPSC 85513117 Drainage of inferior mesenteric artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the available recent opportunities. The code is a medical procedure taxonomy entry aligned with clinical billing and procedural classification; the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. These opportunities bear no substantive relationship to percutaneous arterial drainage procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the sourcing system or a misalignment between the procedural code and how state and local procurement offices are tagging their health system and benefits management contracts.

The recent opportunities instead reflect broader state and local health system purchasing: the Washington State Department of Transportation is sourcing occupational medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent disability medical evaluations for pension determinations; the City of Long Beach is seeking a surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out vendor for its Anthem PPO; the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing; and Collier County is renewing pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members. These are routine benefits administration and occupational health contracts, not procedural specialties. If your firm pursues work under this code, verify the actual scope with the issuing body before investing in proposal development, as the code appears to be a taxonomy miscue rather than a signal of genuine procedural procurement demand.
