UNSPSC 85513615: Release superior mesenteric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release superior mesenteric artery, 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 04N54ZZ

UNSPSC 85513615 Release superior mesenteric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — releasing the superior mesenteric artery via percutaneous endoscopic technique — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers in behavioral health, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention the code describes, and they represent a mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and actual scope of work being procured.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida) and county health departments (San Mateo County, California), as well as a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California, with no apparent concentration in any single region. Because the code shows no relevant recent activity tied to its stated scope, business development professionals evaluating opportunities under this code should recognize that state and local procurement offices are not currently using it to solicit the surgical service it nominally describes.
