UNSPSC 85515023: Removal of extraluminal device from lower artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of extraluminal device 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 04PY0CZ

UNSPSC 85515023 Removal of extraluminal device from lower artery, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure code—and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve institutional healthcare management and administration services, not surgical interventions. The Muscogee County Prison RFP (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) solicits comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services including intake screening, chronic care management, and formulary oversight for an all-male facility housing approximately 576 offenders. Collier County's RFP (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) procures pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 enrolled employees and dependents. Monroe County (RFP posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) seeks virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members. These solicitations represent integrated healthcare delivery, benefit administration, and medical direction—none of which correspond to the surgical procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County in Florida), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), and county behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County Health). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with Georgia representation. Given the clear mismatch between the code's surgical device-removal taxonomy and the healthcare administration services actually being solicited, this code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a live procurement category for the work state and local agencies are actually buying. Practitioners should verify whether opportunities tagged under this code genuinely require the named service or represent miscoded general healthcare procurement.
