UNSPSC 85515314: Restriction of left anterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left anterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, open 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 04VQ0DZ

UNSPSC 85515314, "Restriction of left anterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, open approach," is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical centers of excellence, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve restriction of the left anterior tibial artery or intraluminal device placement. State and local procurement systems appear to have misclassified these medical administration and staffing opportunities under a procedure-specific code, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited.

The recent opportunities show activity from state departments, counties, cities, and public health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of these solicitations address the vascular surgical intervention the code describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical evaluation services; the City of Long Beach sought surgical centers of excellence for orthopedic and other procedures on a carve-out basis; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Vendors pursuing work under UNSPSC 85515314 should verify code accuracy in RFP documents before submitting; the code shows no actionable procurement activity aligned with vascular artery restriction procedures.
