UNSPSC 85515117: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower artery, percutaneous 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 04PY3KZ

UNSPSC 85515117 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which directly involve the removal of tissue substitutes from lower arteries or match the code's clinical scope. The mismatch suggests either broad misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code does not represent meaningful state and local purchasing activity in the current opportunity pipeline.

No state and local procurement opportunities currently soliciting the specific clinical service named by this code appear in the recent activity block. Given the highly specialized and procedure-specific nature of vascular tissue-substitute removal, demand for this code through routine state and local RFPs is likely limited to health systems and hospital networks with vascular surgery programs. The absence of relevant recent opportunities is a useful signal that this code warrants a skip or watch posture for most state and local business development efforts.
