UNSPSC 85513543: Replacement of superior 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 superior 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 04R54KZ

UNSPSC 85513543 Replacement of superior mesenteric artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The UNSPSC code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular replacement via endoscopic means — yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, recent solicitations tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, health plan surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities span administrative healthcare delivery, employee health benefits administration, and clinical staffing — categories wholly unrelated to vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of these opportunities or a systematic misalignment between the code's procedural definition and how state and local procurement systems are applying it.

The recent opportunities that carry this code originate from diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the code's nominal content, the code itself does not reliably indicate actual state and local purchasing intent for vascular surgery or related procedures. Business development professionals pursuing state and local opportunities in medical and surgical services should verify code assignments independently rather than rely on this code's recent-opportunity block for market signal or scope definition.
