UNSPSC 85515042: Dilation of lower artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of lower artery with drug-eluting 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 047Y04Z

UNSPSC 85515042, Dilation of lower artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vascular intervention devices or surgical procedures. Instead, they span independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirement systems, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the procurement of endovascular devices for arterial dilation. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly or generically to health-services solicitations that fall outside the narrow scope of interventional cardiology or vascular surgery device procurement.

The mismatch between the code's medical nomenclature and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local health agencies and procurement offices may use this code as a catch-all for certain medical services categories rather than for the specific procedural device it nominally describes. Given this disconnect and the absence of solicitations for the actual product or service the code names, the code presents no actionable opportunity for firms supplying or performing vascular intervention procedures or associated devices.
