This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right internal iliac artery with autologous 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 04RE47Z

UNSPSC 85513518 Replacement of right internal iliac artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and related administrative healthcare services — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention that does not appear in any of the recent state and local solicitations. State and local procurement offices frequently use UNSPSC medical codes to categorize healthcare contracting without strict alignment to surgical commodity definitions; this code appears to serve as a catch-all for miscellaneous health services administration rather than for actual surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies across the recent activity include municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach, Collier County). Activity is geographically distributed across California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating the recent record. Because the opportunities are fundamentally misaligned with the code's stated scope, pursuing this code as a vehicle for vascular-surgery-related services or tissue substitutes would be futile; vendors should verify actual scope in RFP language before committing resources.
