UNSPSC 85515135: Drainage of lower artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 049Y3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515135 Drainage of lower artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure classification. The six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, surgical procedure networks, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular intervention or percutaneous arterial drainage. The mismatch suggests that issuing bodies are applying this code inconsistently or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to encompass broader occupational health and employee benefit administration rather than the specific interventional procedure its name describes.

The opportunities that do appear geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (WSDOT) reflect demand for medical evaluation services, healthcare benefit program administration, and temporary health professional staffing among cities, counties, state departments, and public health systems. Representative recent procurements include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026). However, the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests that pursuing this code requires confirming with individual issuing bodies that their solicitations address the arterial drainage capability the code nominally identifies.
