UNSPSC 85513829: Drainage of superior mesenteric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of superior mesenteric 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 04954ZZ

UNSPSC 85513829 Drainage of superior mesenteric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it, which instead cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations reflect administrative and program-level health services procurement rather than the procedural intervention the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health services opportunities assigned to it suggests either systematic miscoding at the point of entry or use of this code as a catch-all for health-service transactions that fall outside narrower clinical-procedure categories. State and local procurement bodies — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — are using this code to tag health management services, staffing, and benefits administration rather than surgical procedures. Absent opportunities specifically soliciting drainage of a superior mesenteric artery or related vascular procedures, this code presents no clear commercial signal for vendors in surgical services, medical device supply, or hospital operating-room contracting.
