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 04QY4ZZ

UNSPSC 85515219 Repair lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county benefits program, virtual primary and urgent care for county employees, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — do not match the code's nominal scope of percutaneous endoscopic vascular repair. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag health care and human services opportunities with clinical procedure codes that do not reflect the actual work being bought, and this code appears to be an example of that mismatch. No vascular intervention services, interventional radiology contracts, or arterial repair procurement activity appears in the recent opportunities block.

If you are evaluating this code for pursuit, verify with your state or local prospects whether they use this taxonomy for actual vascular or interventional services, or whether their procurement system has mislabeled opportunities under it. The divergence between the code's clinical specificity and the actual opportunities posted suggests either systematic coding error in one or more jurisdictions' procurement systems or that this code does not drive meaningful activity in state and local government contracting at present.
