UNSPSC 85513660: Occlusion of middle colic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of middle colic 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 04L84ZZ

UNSPSC 85513660 Occlusion of middle colic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — endoscopic occlusion of the middle colic artery — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve middle colic artery procedures or specialized vascular intervention. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a systematic classification error across multiple issuing bodies.

The recent activity under this code reflects general healthcare administration and staffing rather than specialized surgical services. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employees (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Washington, California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026). Given the clear divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code should not be treated as a reliable signal for opportunities in specialized vascular or endoscopic surgical procedures.
