UNSPSC 85513528: Replacement of left renal 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 left renal 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 04RA4KZ

UNSPSC 85513528 Replacement of left renal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; the recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve vascular surgery or renal artery replacement. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code does not reflect genuine state and local procurement activity in its intended domain.

The recent opportunities do reveal activity across multiple issuing bodies—city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county juvenile justice departments, and county commissioners' offices—but these solicitations appear to be miscoded under a specific surgical procedure code rather than under codes that would properly describe benefits administration, occupational health, or medical staffing services. No clear signal emerges about whether this code warrants pursuit, as the opportunities posted under it do not match its stated scope.
