UNSPSC 85513194: Dilation of gastric 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 gastric 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 047234Z

UNSPSC 85513194 Dilation of gastric artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational health surveillance, detention-center medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and clinical staffing, none of which align with the interventional cardiology procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical specification and the breadth of health-system administrative and employment-related services tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding in the source jurisdictions' procurement systems or a data quality issue in the underlying taxonomy mapping.

State and local procurement offices in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara, Collier County), Washington (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County) have posted opportunities under this code in recent weeks, but the work being solicited—medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, Center of Excellence surgery networks, occupational medicine surveillance, emergency detention-center care, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing—bears no functional relationship to drug-eluting stent placement in the gastric artery. Business development professionals should not pursue this code based on the premise that it reflects actual state and local procurement in the procedure line it names. Clarification with issuing jurisdictions on their UNSPSC taxonomy and mapping processes is warranted before committing resources to monitoring or bidding under this classification.
