UNSPSC 85513552: Replacement of gastric 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 gastric 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 04R24KZ

UNSPSC 85513552 Replacement of gastric artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve gastric artery replacement or the medical intervention the code describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited reflects inconsistent code assignment in state and local procurement systems rather than genuine procurement activity under the nominal code definition.

The geographic spread of these misassigned opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county procurement divisions. Representative recent postings include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). This code warrants monitoring only if the source organization corrects its code assignment; currently, it signals procurement process inconsistency rather than a viable market segment.
