UNSPSC 85515030: Occlusion of lower artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion 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 04LY0DZ

UNSPSC 85515030 Occlusion of lower artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows no alignment between the code's nominal medical device scope and the work actually being procured. The six opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve lower-artery occlusion devices or implantable vascular interventions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and independent school district health networks (Santa Clara). This pattern suggests the code has been misapplied to health services procurement rather than medical devices and reflects a broad administrative healthcare category rather than a specific procedural intervention.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates concentrated in September and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals and shipyards (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's recent activity reflects administrative healthcare purchasing for large public employers and health systems rather than medical device procurement, indicating the tagging is inconsistent with the code's intended commodity definition.
