UNSPSC 85513889: Dilation of hepatic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of hepatic 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 04734ZZ

UNSPSC 85513889 Dilation of hepatic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific interventional radiological procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which relate to hepatic artery dilation. The mismatch indicates either a coding error in the source data or a miscategorization of these solicitations within the UNSPSC taxonomy. State and local procurement under this code, as presently recorded, does not reflect the clinical service the code name describes.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas jurisdictions and issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal health systems, state transportation departments, county health authorities, and county probation departments. However, because none of these opportunities align with the hepatic artery dilation procedure named in the code, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes unless the source data is corrected to reflect actual hepatic interventions being solicited.
