UNSPSC 85515221: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 04PY4JZ

UNSPSC 85515221, Removal of synthetic substitute from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code are for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve cardiovascular endoscopic procedures or synthetic graft removal. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not reflect meaningful state and local procurement activity in its intended scope.

The issuing bodies appearing in the recent opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), and a county procurement office (Collier County, Florida). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. Without recent solicitations that actually match the code's procedural scope, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors specializing in vascular endoscopic services or synthetic graft procurement.
