UNSPSC 85515223: Removal of extraluminal device from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of extraluminal device 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 04PY4CZ

UNSPSC 85515223 Removal of extraluminal device from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity cite it for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve arterial device removal or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in state and local procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy entry and its actual application in local government contracting.

The code shows little to no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. Buyers pursuing medical services through state and local RFPs and RFQs are addressing occupational health compliance, employee benefit administration, pension medical determinations, and clinical staffing, not interventional vascular procedures or device removal services. Business development professionals should verify with individual procuring jurisdictions whether this Commodity code is actively used or whether arterial interventions, if purchased at all, are tagged differently within their systems.
