UNSPSC 85513685: Occlusion of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of abdominal aorta 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 04L04DZ

UNSPSC 85513685 Occlusion of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving aortic intervention, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve aortic procedures or percutaneous endoscopic techniques.

The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error in the procurement database or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC classification and the work state and local entities are buying under this code. No recent opportunities reflect procurement related to the aortic intervention described in the code's title. The issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara — are soliciting administrative healthcare services, staffing, and program management rather than procedural medical devices or surgical services. Without opportunities that authentically match the code's scope, this code presents no actionable market signal for firms pursuing contracts in aortic intervention or percutaneous endoscopic procedures at the state and local level.
