UNSPSC 85511543: Dilation of left peroneal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left peroneal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, 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 047U04Z

UNSPSC 85511543 Dilation of left peroneal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not align with state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations posted under this code reflect health services contracting and staffing by state and local agencies, not procurement of the procedure itself or implantable medical devices. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical carve-out benefit manager for an employee health plan; the Washington State Department of Transportation is contracting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is requesting emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve the procurement, implantation, or supply of the peroneal artery device described in the code's nominal title.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope. The issuing bodies span county health systems, county human resources and benefits functions, state transportation departments, juvenile justice agencies, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington—all engaged in healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational health services rather than vascular intervention devices or procedures. The mismatch between code and solicitation substance suggests this code has been applied to health services contracting without regard to the device-specific commodity definition. Firms pursuing vascular device or procedure opportunities should verify code alignment through direct solicitation review rather than relying on this Commodity classification alone.
