UNSPSC 85515010: Restriction of lower artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of lower artery with 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 04VY0DZ

UNSPSC 85515010 Restriction of lower artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular intervention. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with the medical device or surgical procedure scope the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities reflect health and human services contracting — independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical center-of-excellence programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies span county health systems, county boards of commissioners, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to opportunities that fall outside the device implantation or surgical procedure category, or the code is being used as a catch-all for health service administration and management work that should be classified under a different UNSPSC family.

No recent opportunities in the source represent actual procurement of lower-artery restriction devices or open-approach vascular procedures as the code nominally defines. The solicitations posted include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits for Anthem PPO enrollees (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical device scope and the administrative and staffing services actually being procured, this code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for firms pursuing vascular device or surgical procedure sales to state and local buyers.
