UNSPSC 85515118: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 04PY3JZ

UNSPSC 85515118, Removal of synthetic substitute from lower artery, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the medical services and staffing functions posted by state and local jurisdictions. Recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out program management, and emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth. These procurements represent administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing coordination rather than the arterial intervention the code describes.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), indicating a fragmented buyer base without concentration among repeat purchasers in the recent activity block. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, for approximately 75 annual disability applications with a $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited relevant recent procurement activity; the mismatch between nominal code scope and actual solicitation content suggests potential data-entry error or systematic miscoding rather than genuine market activity in percutaneous vascular procedures under this UNSPSC classification.
