UNSPSC 85513900: Principal arteries abdomen, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part G

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the abdomen with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 04.

UNSPSC 85513900 Principal arteries abdomen, percutaneous endoscopic approach–part G is a Class code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope refers to a specific medical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted against this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations have no connection to endoscopic procedures of the principal abdominal arteries. The source shows a significant mismatch between the code's technical name and the breadth of healthcare administration and staffing services actually being tagged and purchased by issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—indicating that this code may be used as a catch-all or default classification for healthcare-related procurements that do not fit more precise UNSPSC categories. Without representative opportunities that align to the code's actual title, the code shows little relevant recent activity for business development professionals seeking endoscopic vascular procedure work. The mismatch suggests vendors should verify the actual scope before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
