UNSPSC 85513199: Dilation of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of abdominal aorta with 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 04703DZ

UNSPSC 85513199 Dilation of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful alignment with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm — yet the recent solicitations reveal purchasing activity that is entirely unrelated to medical device procurement or surgical intervention. The opportunities under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational health surveillance programs, temporary health professional staffing pools, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the procurement, supply, or implantation of intraluminal aortic devices. This classification mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities or a data integrity issue in the taxonomy itself.

The issuing bodies span multiple state and local jurisdictions — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — indicating geographic distribution across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent activity includes an RFP from the City of Phoenix due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services with a five-year term and $750,000 maximum compensation; an RFP from the City of Long Beach due October 7, 2026 for surgical benefit carve-out administration; and an RFP from Washington State Department of Transportation due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the opportunities actually being procured, bid pursuers should treat this code as unreliable for targeting device or implant business and instead verify commodity classification directly with issuing bodies before submitting proposals.
