UNSPSC 85515202: Revision of synthetic substitute in lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic 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 04WY4JZ

UNSPSC 85515202 Revision of synthetic substitute in lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity under the code. The recent opportunities solicited do not involve vascular surgery or synthetic graft revision; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit coordination, and youth detention healthcare services. This code appears to carry minimal relevant activity in the state and local market. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation departments—a fragmented mix typical of public-sector health services procurement, but none pursuing the vascular procedure work the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), and Texas (Harris County), reflecting scattered regional activity in health administration and clinical staffing rather than a concentrated market for lower-extremity arterial reconstruction. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering four personnel categories across 14 ferry terminals; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code assignment to these health services and staffing procurements does not align with vascular surgery scope, signaling either miscoding on the part of the issuing bodies or a taxonomy drift between code intent and current state and local use.
