UNSPSC 85515041: Dilation of lower artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 047Y0DZ

UNSPSC 85515041 Dilation of lower artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful activity in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—arterial dilation using intraluminal devices—but state and local agencies do not directly procure individual surgical procedures as line items through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITT notice types. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve health services procurement fundamentally misaligned with the code's nominal scope: independent medical evaluation and disability determination services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, Center of Excellence surgical networks, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare. None of these represent direct procurement of arterial dilation devices or the procedure itself.

State and local governments do not use UNSPSC Commodity codes for specific surgical interventions as procurement categories. When health systems or counties source medical devices, they typically aggregate across procedure types and device families within broader equipment or supplies codes, and when they source clinical services or examine outcomes tied to procedure-based care pathways, they code to service delivery or care coordination families rather than to discrete surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's medical-procedure specificity and the actual structure of state and local health procurement suggests this code either misfires in classification or has no active state and local contracting footprint. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local sales purposes and redirect focus to broader device, service delivery, or healthcare-network procurement codes aligned with how public-sector health buyers actually structure their solicitations.
