UNSPSC 85513327: Restriction of inferior mesenteric artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of inferior mesenteric artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 04VB4CZ

UNSPSC 85513327 Restriction of inferior mesenteric artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous endoscopic restriction of the inferior mesenteric artery using an extraluminal device — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit program administration, and youth detention healthcare coordination. None of these solicitations involve the procedure itself or devices for its performance. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to general health and medical services contracting rather than to the narrow procedural scope the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity renders this code unsuitable for targeting. The recent opportunities span issuing bodies across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), but they address administrative health services, staffing, and benefit management — not the surgical procedure or device category the code nominally covers. Unless your firm supplies medical devices or performs the specific surgical procedure named in the code, classify this code as a low-value watch for now; the misclassification signal itself suggests procurement offices may continue to apply it incorrectly.
