UNSPSC 85513620: Release abdominal aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release abdominal aorta, 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 04N04ZZ

UNSPSC 85513620 Release abdominal aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity code, does not reflect the actual health care and administrative services state and local governments are procuring under this taxonomy designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The code shows substantial misclassification in the state and local procurement system; opportunities posted against it concern comprehensive health plan administration, behavioral health support, and occupational health oversight rather than procedural interventions.

Activity is concentrated in county and municipal health departments and county commissioners' offices across Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in California. Recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (Muscogee County Prison, inmate medical and pharmacy services, RFP due May 15, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, approximately $8.7 million annually, RFP due April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida Board of County Commissioners' RFP (virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026); and San Mateo County Health's RFP No. 2025-007 (peer support services for mental health workers, $580,000 total funding). Business development professionals should not pursue this code for specialized surgical services; the taxonomy mislabeling suggests procurement offices themselves are not consistently applying UNSPSC classifications to health care procurement. Vendors with expertise in managed care administration, pharmacy operations, or occupational health services may identify genuine opportunities buried under this code, but a systematic recoding effort within state and local procurement offices would be necessary to bring the taxonomy into alignment with actual buying patterns.
