UNSPSC 85515009: Restriction of lower artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of lower artery, 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 04VY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515009 Restriction of lower artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The five most recently available solicitations include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county health insurance program, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve the surgical or medical-device procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of opportunities in the state and local procurement system or that this code does not reflect actual procurement activity at the state and local level.

The geographic spread of the mislabeled opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and Santa Monica, California, but geographic distribution is not meaningful when the work does not match the code's scope. No representative recent opportunities under this code exist that state and local procurement professionals pursuing vascular surgery services or related medical devices would find decision-relevant.
