This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right colic artery with nonautologous tissue 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 04U64KZ

UNSPSC 85513440, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope—surgical procedures involving right colic artery supplementation with nonautologous tissue substitutes via percutaneous endoscopic approach. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a fundamental mismatch between the clinical procedure name embedded in the code and the actual work state and local governments are buying.

The six most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out program administration (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve vascular surgical procedures, graft placement, or tissue substitutes. The code assignment appears to reflect a procurement-system classification error rather than genuine alignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the scope of work actually being purchased. Business development professionals should verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies before investing pursuit effort on solicitations tagged under this code.
