UNSPSC 85515238: Drainage of lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 049Y4ZZ

UNSPSC 85515238 Drainage of lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure rather than a category of goods or services that state and local governments purchase. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the code's clinical description. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve drainage procedures or endoscopic vascular intervention. The code appears to have been misapplied to health administration and occupational medicine procurements rather than clinical procedures themselves.

State and local procurement activity under this code tag does not reflect a coherent commodity or service line. The issuers include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal health system (City of Long Beach), and a regional health system (Santa Clara Health System). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state. The opportunities due in late September and early October 2026 range from occupational health examinations for ferry workers to pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees to temporary clinical staffing. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited, this code does not present a reliable procurement signal for vendors seeking state and local opportunities in a coherent service or product category.
