Ok, I have no idea what you mean by that question. Technically, since blood flows to the spleen to keep it alive...then yes. But blood flows to every living cell in your body to keep it alive so...yeah. But is the spleen a part of the circulatory system? That is also a yes. It is part of the lymphatic system, not the cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system is a sub-system of the circulatory system that basically helps fight infection, recycle blood plasma, etc. Most people do not think of the lymphatic system as part of the circulatory system though (even though it is) and most use the words "circulatory" and "cardiovascular" interchangeably (even though they're not interchangeable). Seeing as the cardiovascular organs are the heart and blood vessels, if that is what you meant...then no it's not. Please be more specific with your questions.
