UNSPSC 85513777: Excision of splenic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of splenic 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 04B44ZZ

UNSPSC 85513777 "Excision of splenic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that the source identifies as a clinical procedure code, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect the specific surgical procedure named. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span a broader range of occupational health, disability medical evaluation, employee benefits medical management, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which involve splenic artery excision. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent purchasing activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is not actively used for its stated purpose in state and local procurement. State and local bodies issuing under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county boards of commissioners, juvenile probation departments, and county health care consortiums. The recent opportunities reflect a mix of issuing bodies focused on occupational health, disability determinations, pharmacy benefits, and clinical staffing—functions orthogonal to surgical procedure codes.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summaries and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations across 14 Washington ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services. Given the disconnect between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual scope of posted opportunities, this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated surgical definition.
