UNSPSC 85513525: Replacement of inferior mesenteric 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 inferior mesenteric 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 04RB4KZ

UNSPSC 85513525, Replacement of inferior mesenteric artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that bears no relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specialized surgical procedure—vascular replacement via endoscopic technique—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. These are administrative and staffing services ancillary to healthcare delivery, not the procedure itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic classification error in the source data or that the code is being misapplied as a catch-all for healthcare-related services.

No state and local government solicitations for the surgical procedure described in UNSPSC 85513525 appear in the recent opportunities block. The issuing bodies posting under this code—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are pursuing health-plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, and temporary clinical staffing across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Unless your firm provides the specialized vascular-surgery services the code nominally describes, this code warrants no pursuit based on current activity.
