UNSPSC 85513618: Release gastric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release gastric 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 04N24ZZ

UNSPSC 85513618 Release gastric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect no clinical procedure procurement. Instead, the tagged solicitations span comprehensive healthcare service delivery, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support programs, and medical director services — none of which involve procurement of the gastric artery release procedure itself. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical specificity and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this taxonomy classification. The scope of work identified in recent opportunities includes inmate medical and pharmacy services for correctional facilities, county employee pharmacy benefit management with claims processing and formulary development, virtual primary and urgent care services, mental health peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — a heterogeneous mix of administrative healthcare contracting rather than procedural supply or service procurement related to the code's nominal definition.

The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county commissioners' purchasing divisions, county health authorities, and municipal fire departments across Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County, Santa Monica). Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71 under the incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services covering 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code's recent activity does not indicate a coherent procurement category aligned with its clinical-procedure taxonomy position, and firms evaluating this code should verify whether their service offerings genuinely match the downstream opportunities actually being solicited rather than relying on the code's procedural name.
