UNSPSC 85513876: Dilation of middle colic 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 middle colic 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 047844Z

UNSPSC 85513876, Dilation of middle colic artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific invasive medical procedure on a named vessel, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve arterial dilation or drug-eluting devices. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error or a fundamental divergence between the code's clinical specification and how state and local procurement systems classify health services contracting.

The few recent opportunities present show issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and service lines: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (surgical Centers of Excellence networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty hospital services), Collier County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated activity. Because the code itself does not describe the work actually being solicited, practitioners should not rely on this UNSPSC designation for pipeline analysis or market segmentation—the code appears to be a misclassification artifact rather than a meaningful procurement signal.
