UNSPSC 85513823: Drainage of middle colic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of middle colic 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 04984ZZ

UNSPSC 85513823 Drainage of middle colic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the recent state and local contract activity tagged to it. The opportunities posted under this code do not involve percutaneous endoscopic procedures or middle colic artery drainage. Instead, recent solicitations include independent disability medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty inpatient care for detained youth. None of these activities align with the procedural specificity embedded in the code's name, suggesting either systematic misclassification in the state and local procurement databases or a data-integrity issue in the taxonomy itself. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix: municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city health plan administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). This breadth indicates the code is not being used as a procurement category coherent to any particular industry or service line.

Geographic activity appears in Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but the spread reflects random assignment rather than concentrated demand. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026 with cost accounting for 40 percent of evaluation score and non-cost factors 60 percent), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, maximum contract compensation $750,000 over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive with no guaranteed work volume). The code does not reflect current active procurement in its stated clinical domain and appears unsuitable for business development targeting.
