UNSPSC 85513899: Dilation of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of abdominal aorta with 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 04704DZ

UNSPSC 85513899 Dilation of abdominal aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve aortic dilation procedures or the clinical interventions the code describes. The mismatch suggests either data-classification error or that this code is being used as a catch-all for non-clinical health-related state and local services rather than for the procedure itself.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Activity is geographically scattered with no dominant jurisdiction or state, and the scope of solicited services (benefits administration, occupational health programs, specialty networks, and staffing) bears no operational resemblance to the clinical procedure named in the code. Vendors pursuing work under this code should note that recent posting patterns indicate misclassification; the actual procurement activity under this code designation does not reflect its stated commodity name.
