UNSPSC 85513450: Supplement hepatic artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement hepatic 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 04U34JZ

UNSPSC 85513450 Supplement hepatic artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—hepatic artery supplementation via endoscopic approach using synthetic material—but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve hepatic artery procedures or percutaneous endoscopic vascular interventions.

The mismatch indicates either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that the code has been misapplied to general healthcare administration and staffing categories. No state or local procurement body is visibly purchasing hepatic artery procedures as a line item. Issuers include city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county procurement offices (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). If you are evaluating this code to pursue vascular surgical services or surgical implants, the recent activity does not support targeting under this taxonomy entry; a re-verification of the code assignment or exploration of alternative UNSPSC classifications for surgical services, vascular procedures, or medical device procurement would be warranted.
