UNSPSC 85513209: Destruction of inferior mesenteric artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 045B3ZZ

UNSPSC 85513209 Destruction of inferior mesenteric artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this classification. The opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summary services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations span benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and medical staffing coordination rather than the vascular intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently by posting jurisdictions or that state and local procurement offices are using it as a catch-all for healthcare services despite its narrow procedural title.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdiction types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension board administration), the City of Long Beach (municipal employee benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (state agency), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (county corrections health), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county human resources and benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (county healthcare operations). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026) with $750,000 maximum compensation over five years, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (proposals due October 7, 2026) for approximately 3,800 enrolled members, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (proposals due October 9, 2026) across 14 Washington ferry locations. Given the code's procedural specificity and the absence of actual surgical-procedure solicitations in the recent block, pursuit under this code should proceed cautiously pending clarification of how the issuing jurisdiction has applied the classification.
