UNSPSC 85514900: Principal arteries lower body, external approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the lower body with external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 04.

UNSPSC 85514900 Principal arteries lower body, external approach is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect healthcare and medical services procurement — specifically inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical director contracts — none of which directly address vascular procedures, lower-extremity arterial interventions, or the surgical and diagnostic services the code's nominal scope suggests. The issuing bodies span county health departments, consolidated city-county governments, county commissioners' boards, and municipal fire departments across multiple states, but the work being solicited does not match the code's clinical focus.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in California. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026) managing approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million; the Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division in Georgia posted RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026) at a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026) for 2,300 county members; San Mateo County Health's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services in California posted RFP No. 2025-007 for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot with $580,000 in total funding; and the Santa Monica Fire Department issued RFP 455 for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The code does not reflect procurement of the vascular intervention services, diagnostic imaging, or surgical facilities its title describes and warrants review for reclassification accuracy.
