UNSPSC 85515017: Replacement of lower artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower artery with synthetic substitute, 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 04RY0JZ

UNSPSC 85515017 Replacement of lower artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with arterial replacement surgery or its equipment and supplies. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied in state and local procurement databases to describe medical services that fall outside its anatomical and procedural scope.

The six recent opportunities reflect diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Geographic activity clusters in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Washington, but the opportunities are scattered across unrelated medical and health-management service lines rather than concentrated in a single commodity family. Given the taxonomic misalignment, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development targeting and warrants recategorization or validation against the actual services being solicited.
