UNSPSC 85513138: Drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, 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 049130Z

UNSPSC 85513138 Drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are health and human services contracts. None involve the specific interventional radiology procedure (percutaneous drainage of the celiac artery with a device) that the code nominally describes.

State and local governments do not solicit for individual clinical procedures under this or similar clinical procedure codes. The tagging appears to reflect a systematic mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy—which is designed primarily for procurement of tangible goods and discrete clinical services—and how some issuing bodies classify human services contracts. Vendors pursuing state and local government business should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and verify the actual scope of any opportunity before investing in a response.
