UNSPSC 85515134: Excision of lower artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 04BY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515134 Excision of lower artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the source material shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's clinical procedure scope. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local jurisdictions are unrelated to lower artery excision — they cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The code does not reflect actual procurement of surgical procedures or vascular interventions; instead, the tagged opportunities span administrative healthcare delivery, benefits management, and preventive care contracting. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code has been assigned to broader healthcare administration opportunities where it does not fit the commodity definition.

Given the absence of relevant recent activity, pursuing opportunities under this code carries substantial risk. The five postings span Florida (Collier and Monroe Counties), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), and California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), but none involves surgical services or the clinical scope the code describes. Firms seeking vascular surgery contracting should verify the actual UNSPSC taxonomy applied by target agencies rather than rely on this code's assignment. If state and local bodies are systematically misusing this code for general healthcare contracting, it may be worth flagging to your procurement team for reclassification requests at specific jurisdictions — but current activity offers no signal that the code will generate relevant opportunities in the near term.
