UNSPSC 85515229: Occlusion of lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 04LY4ZZ

UNSPSC 85515229 Occlusion of lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that displays a material mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure classification and recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations for the percutaneous endoscopic vascular procedure it names. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management carve-outs, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve lower-artery occlusion procedures or endoscopic vascular intervention. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and city retirement offices (City of Phoenix). The code does not appear to be tracking actual procurement of the procedure it describes.

The recent opportunities show activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though this geographic spread reflects misclassification rather than genuine demand under the code's stated scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) covering 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and sterile processing. Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414) with historical annual spending near $8.7 million. These opportunities reflect administrative and occupational health functions rather than surgical vascular procedures, signaling a coding or taxonomy application error rather than active market demand for the procedure named in the code.
