This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left common iliac artery, percutaneous 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 047D3ZZ

UNSPSC 85513159 Dilation of left common iliac artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific vascular surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement for healthcare services delivery—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve vascular dilation procedures or invasive cardiology. State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catch-all taxonomy marker for healthcare procurement rather than for procurement tied to the specific clinical procedure the code names. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia; Collier County and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), representing a mix of correctional health, employee benefit management, county employee health plans, behavioral health, and emergency medical services administration. The code shows little relevant recent activity when measured against its actual definition.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no concentration in any single state. Representative solicitations include the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026, posted April 15, 2026), the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (due April 9, 2026), the Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026), and the Santa Monica Fire Department Medical Director RFP (due October 16, 2025). The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure focus and the healthcare administration and service delivery nature of posted opportunities suggests that this code may be misapplied by issuing jurisdictions or that taxonomy mapping at the state and local level does not cleanly separate procedural coding from broader healthcare procurement categories. Vendors pursuing contracts under this code should verify actual scope before investing in proposal development, as the code's title provides little guidance to the work state and local buyers are actually requesting.
