UNSPSC 85513216: Destruction of splenic artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of splenic 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 04543ZZ

UNSPSC 85513216 Destruction of splenic artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with the medical services and staffing work actually being solicited under it by state and local agencies. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical and specialty medical care carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve destruction of splenic artery or any percutaneous interventional procedure. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices, indicating fragmented sourcing across administrative health programs, occupational safety compliance, employee benefit management, and detention healthcare rather than any unified procedural focus.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with no single jurisdiction dominating the posting volume. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with award anticipated by November 30, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume). The code's UNSPSC classification does not reflect the actual procurements being tagged under it, signaling either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data quality issue in the taxonomy assignment.
