UNSPSC 85513347: Restriction of splenic artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of splenic artery with intraluminal 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 04V44DZ

UNSPSC 85513347 Restriction of splenic artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), youth detention healthcare (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara) — represent administrative healthcare procurement, occupational health compliance, and staffing services entirely unrelated to vascular interventional procedures. The code appears to be a data classification or tagging error rather than an active procurement category for state and local governments. State and local bodies do not solicit splenic artery embolization procedures through formal RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITT processes; such clinical interventions are typically purchased as components of broader hospital service contracts or capitated health plans, not as discrete line-item procurements.

No meaningful activity exists under this code that would support business development pursuit. Firms offering vascular interventional services, splenic artery embolization capabilities, or related clinical equipment and supplies should not rely on UNSPSC 85513347 as a sourcing vehicle for state and local opportunities. The administrative healthcare procurement reflected in the recent postings — benefits management, staffing, and occupational health — falls outside the code's procedural scope and represents a mismatch between the coding taxonomy and the work actually being bought.
