UNSPSC 85515218: Replacement of lower artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower artery with autologous tissue substitute, 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 04RY47Z

UNSPSC 85515218 "Replacement of lower artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that the source shows carries a mismatch between its clinical medical procedure name and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve vascular surgery or the specific interventional procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are state health departments, counties, cities, health systems, and transit authorities, but the work being solicited bears no consistent relationship to lower-artery replacement surgery. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The source provides no state and local opportunities that actually solicit vascular surgical services, artery replacement procedures, or related implantable devices. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but across disconnected health administration and occupational medicine categories rather than the surgical specialty the code name indicates. No pre-bid conferences, addenda, or cooperative purchasing frameworks specific to this code's nominal scope are documented. The apparent disconnect between the code's clinical name and the purchasing activity recorded against it suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or that this code does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns for the procedure it nominally describes.
