UNSPSC 85515019: Repair 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 04QY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515019 Repair lower artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name references a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve direct surgical intervention or vascular repair. The solicitations reveal that state and local governments are actually buying comprehensive healthcare services delivery, workforce support, and medical program management rather than discrete surgical procedures.

The recent activity reflects procurement across a mix of issuing bodies: county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows activity concentrated in California and Florida, with isolated activity in Georgia. Because the recent opportunities under this code bear no relationship to lower-artery repair procedures, the code appears to be a classification error in source records rather than a meaningful category for vascular surgical services procurement.
