UNSPSC 85513449: Supplement hepatic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement hepatic 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 04U34KZ

UNSPSC 85513449 Supplement hepatic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) describes a surgical procedure code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it diverge sharply from this clinical taxonomy — they do not solicit hepatic artery supplementation services or any procedural medical device supply. Instead, the code is being applied to a range of occupational health, benefits administration, and healthcare staffing services that fall outside the scope of interventional vascular procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic and specialty procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation is purchasing occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County is seeking emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth; Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County is establishing a temporary staffing pool for ancillary clinical professionals including radiology, therapy, and sterile processing. The taxonomy mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source systems or that state and local procurement offices are applying this code as a general medical-services catch-all rather than as a specific procedural code.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant geographic concentration. The issuing bodies are mixed: county health systems and benefits administrators (Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement and benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), and county detention and probation services (Harris County). Response dates cluster between October 7 and October 20, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope (hepatic artery intervention) bears no relationship to the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms in vascular intervention or implantable device supply. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before responding, as misalignment with the commodity taxonomy may signal internal catalog inconsistency at the issuing agency.
