UNSPSC 85513838: Drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, 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 049140Z

UNSPSC 85513838 (Drainage of celiac artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows no alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed on patients — an interventional radiologic or gastroenterologic service involving placement of a drainage device — whereas state and local governments do not procure individual medical procedures under UNSPSC codes. Recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect mismatch: they solicit medical staffing, benefit administration, pharmacy management, occupational health surveillance, and independent medical evaluations for disability determinations and pension administration, none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block are a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County), and a county benefits consortium (Collier County) — a mix of municipal, county, state, and regional healthcare purchasers, but their activity concerns employment health and benefits programs, not clinical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No state or local body solicits the specific drainage procedure this code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a taxonomy alignment issue; the code does not reflect current state and local buying activity worth pursuing.
