UNSPSC 85515430: Replacement of middle colic artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of middle colic artery with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 04R807Z

UNSPSC 85515430 Replacement of middle colic artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope.

The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — replacement of a middle colic artery using autologous tissue in an open surgical approach — a highly specialized vascular intervention. The recent opportunities posted under this code, however, reflect general healthcare administration and staffing services entirely unrelated to this procedure. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical benefits carve-out program managing bundled payment networks across multiple procedure types (knee, hip, spine, oncology); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management administration; and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve procurement of the specific vascular surgical service or implant materials the code describes. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they are buying health plan administration, staffing coordination, and surveillance services—not surgical procedures or vascular replacement products. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement database or that this code does not reflect current state and local spending patterns for vascular surgical services.
