UNSPSC 85513438: Supplement left colic artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left colic artery with synthetic substitute, 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 04U74JZ

UNSPSC 85513438 Supplement left colic artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it concern correctional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the named procedure.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services that do not fit narrower clinical taxonomy. Recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies — a county corrections department (Columbus Consolidated Government), a county government health plan administrator (Collier County), a county employee health program (Monroe County), a county behavioral health authority (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, California, and likely reflects broader national misuse of this code rather than regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (closed April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Monroe County's RFP 628 (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members. Absent reclassification of this code or correction by issuing bodies, activity under UNSPSC 85513438 will remain disconnected from its procedural name and unreliable as a signal for surgical-services procurement.
