UNSPSC 85513918: Destruction of gastric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of gastric 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 04524ZZ

UNSPSC 85513918 Destruction of gastric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure code name and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations do not center on gastric artery destruction or percutaneous endoscopic interventions; instead, the code has been applied to broader occupational health, benefits administration, and medical staffing services.

The recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county boards of commissioners (Collier County). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit and Centers of Excellence management (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been miscategorized for these opportunities and lacks relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural scope. Firms with capabilities in occupational health administration, medical benefits design, and health professional staffing may find the associated issuing bodies worth monitoring, but this code itself does not reliably signal opportunity in procedural gastroenterology.
