UNSPSC 85515236: Extirpation of matter from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 04CY4ZZ

UNSPSC 85515236 Extirpation of matter from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code describes a specific medical procedure—percutaneous endoscopic removal of arterial blockage—yet the six recent solicitations posted since July 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve the procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests a classification error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities, or the code has been applied as a catch-all for health services procurement more broadly.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county and city health and human services agencies (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Recent activity appears concentrated in California (two opportunities: Long Beach and Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering occupational health examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, supporting approximately 75 annual disability pension determinations at $750,000 maximum over five years; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual drug spending of $8.7 million). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope.
