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 04BB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85513770 Excision of inferior mesenteric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities in the source. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These activities do not constitute the narrow procedural service the code name suggests. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), yet the work solicited involves administrative medical services, staffing coordination, and benefit management rather than surgical interventions.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state dominating the recent activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under a $750,000 five-year contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, RFP, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFQ, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural definition, suggesting either a classification error in the source data or a divergence between the code's intended scope and actual state and local usage.
