UNSPSC 85515128: Occlusion of lower artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of lower artery with extraluminal device, 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 04LY3CZ

UNSPSC 85515128 Occlusion of lower artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a cardiovascular medical device or procedure — and the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities records do not contain any procurement activity for arterial occlusion devices or percutaneous vascular interventions. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve lower artery occlusion procedures or extraluminal devices.

The code shows no relevant recent activity for devices or medical procedures matching its stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, the City of Long Beach, and Santa Clara County Health System have all posted solicitations under this code, but none describe procurement of the medical device or procedure named. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as showing little relevant activity in its intended commodity class; the tagging appears to reflect a misalignment between the UNSPSC classification system and actual buyer intent or system error rather than a signal of active demand.
