UNSPSC 85515242: Dilation of lower artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of lower artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, 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 047Y44Z

UNSPSC 85515242, Dilation of lower artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), describes a specific surgical procedure code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for detained youth, and pre- and post-care coordination for orthopedic and specialty procedures. None of these opportunities involve the procurement or delivery of vascular intervention procedures or drug-eluting devices as the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or that this code is used by some jurisdictions to encompass broader medical services administration rather than the specific procedural intervention its name denotes.

The source includes no recent state and local contract opportunities that substantively match the scope of UNSPSC 85515242 as a purchasable medical device or procedure line item. Until state and local procurement bodies post opportunities that involve actual procurement of drug-eluting stents, procedural services, or related device-based vascular interventions under this code, the category shows little actionable activity for vendors pursuing the narrowly defined work the code names.
