UNSPSC 85513510: Replacement of right external iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right external iliac 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 04RH4KZ

UNSPSC 85513510 Replacement of right external iliac artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment between the code's nominal medical procedure scope and the work actually being solicited. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular intervention procedures or the specific surgical technique the code names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or misapplication of this Commodity code to broader health services procurement that belongs under different UNSPSC families. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, reflecting the fragmented procurement landscape across health administration and employee benefit functions.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida based on the recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, historical spending approximately $8.7 million annually). Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, this code warrants review or correction in the state and local taxonomy assignment process rather than pursuit based on the current coding.
