UNSPSC 85513167: Dilation of inferior mesenteric artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of inferior mesenteric artery with drug-eluting intraluminal 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 047B34Z

UNSPSC 85513167 Dilation of inferior mesenteric artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific interventional medical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities solicited include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, surgical benefit carve-out programs for PPO plans, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular interventions or drug-eluting devices. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health care services procurement by state and local issuers without precise alignment to the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, municipal retirement offices, and county probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach seeking surgical benefit management for approximately 3,800 PPO enrollees with contract execution targeted for April 2027 (RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year initial term (RFP due October 9, 2026); Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with a three-year initial term and estimated annual pharmacy spend of $8.7 million (RFP due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories on a non-exclusive basis with no guaranteed work. Given the absence of actual vascular-intervention procurement activity and the presence of unrelated health care services, this code shows little relevant recent opportunity for vendors in the interventional medical device or vascular procedure space.
