UNSPSC 85513514: Replacement of left internal iliac artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left internal iliac 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 04RF4JZ

UNSPSC 85513514 Replacement of left internal iliac artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments actually buy under this designation. Recent solicitations tagged with this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which relate to vascular surgery or endoscopic arterial procedures. The code appears to be a procedural medical taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems are applying to health services contracting, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the purchasing activity it nominally spans.

The recent opportunities show no concentration by issuing body or geography. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach is soliciting surgical benefit carve-out services for its employee health plan with proposals due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth with responses due September 25, 2026. Collier County is also procuring pharmacy benefit management services. Activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity when assessed against its stated clinical scope; the mismatch suggests categorization error rather than legitimate vascular-surgery purchasing demand in state and local markets.
