UNSPSC 85513220: Destruction of abdominal aorta, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of abdominal aorta, 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 04503ZZ

UNSPSC 85513220 Destruction of abdominal aorta, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure (percutaneous endovascular repair of the abdominal aorta), but the five most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve medical and pharmacy services administration, virtual primary and urgent care platform services, peer support workforce development, and medical director contracting — none of which involve the procurement or delivery of percutaneous aortic procedures.

The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or is being used to tag healthcare contracting activity more broadly rather than procedural services. State and local buyers do not appear to be soliciting aortic intervention procedures under this code in current market activity. Business development professionals should verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before investing pursuit resources; the code does not reflect a coherent procurement category for state and local healthcare contracting in 2026.
