UNSPSC 85513676: Occlusion of hepatic artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of hepatic artery with intraluminal device, 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 04L34DZ

UNSPSC 85513676 Occlusion of hepatic artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which relate to hepatic artery occlusion or interventional radiology procedures. The code appears to be a procedural classification from clinical taxonomy that has been incorrectly applied to administrative and staffing health services in state and local procurement systems. The issuing bodies span county retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal human resources departments across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the procurement activity it tags suggests either a data error in how opportunities have been classified or a fundamental misalignment between clinical procedure codes and state and local government service procurement. No recent opportunities involve the hepatic intervention named in the code descriptor. Vendors evaluating activity under this code should flag the classification discrepancy with state and local procurement offices before pursuing opportunities; the code as currently applied does not identify a coherent commodity or service line.
