UNSPSC 85515021: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 04PY0JZ

UNSPSC 85515021 Removal of synthetic substitute from lower artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or removal of synthetic arterial grafts. The mismatch suggests this code has been applied incorrectly to opportunities in occupational health administration, benefits management, and general clinical staffing rather than to the specific vascular procedure the code nominally describes.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal human resources offices (City of Long Beach), county procurement divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent solicitations include the County of Santa Clara Health System's July 7, 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's August 25, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries employees across 14 Washington locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's September 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension benefit determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. The code shows no recent relevant activity aligned with its nominal scope of vascular surgery.
