UNSPSC 85513559: Replacement of abdominal aorta with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of abdominal aorta with synthetic 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 04R04JZ

UNSPSC 85513559 Replacement of abdominal aorta with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for aortic replacement, yet the recent opportunities posted under it cover medical staffing, benefit plan administration, pharmacy services, and occupational health surveillance—none of which involve aortic repair or vascular surgery. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, municipal health systems, a county transportation agency, a county juvenile justice department, and a county benefits administration office, reflecting a broad cross-section of local government functions. The mismatch between the code label and actual solicitation scope suggests either miscoding or an unusually broad interpretation of the commodity classification that does not map to typical surgical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but appears to suffer from consistent classification misalignment with the work actually being purchased, limiting its utility as a targeting vehicle for vendors aligned with the stated commodity scope.
