UNSPSC 85513739: Insertion of intraluminal device into abdominal aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into 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 04H04DZ

UNSPSC 85513739 Insertion of intraluminal device into abdominal aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments actually purchase under recent solicitations tagged to it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving catheter-based aortic intervention; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve intraluminal aortic devices or the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The misalignment between the code's clinical scope and the actual procurement activity signals either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that this code has been repurposed to categorize medical services procurement more broadly.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). State departments, county health systems, cities, and county probation departments are all issuing under this code, though their buy is administrative health services management, staffing, benefits design, and medical surveillance—not surgical device procurement or procedural services. The source contains no evidence of active purchasing of the product or service the code nominally describes.
