UNSPSC 85513870: Dilation of left renal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left renal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal 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 047A44Z

UNSPSC 85513870, Dilation of left renal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific interventional medical procedure — percutaneous renal artery dilation with drug-eluting stent placement — yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the renal intervention procedure or related devices, equipment, or clinical supplies that the code nominally encompasses.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited under it indicates either miscoding of the opportunities or minimal use of this Commodity code in state and local contracting. The recent opportunities — from the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Santa Clara County, and Collier County — span health plan administration, staffing, and medical service delivery across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, but none pursue the specific procedure named in the code itself. State and local governments appear to use higher-tier family or class codes for health services procurement rather than procedure-specific Commodity codes, or these jurisdictions do not routinely contract for interventional cardiology equipment and services through standard procurement channels.
