This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left popliteal artery with intraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85515320 Restriction of left popliteal artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code are for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the procurement of devices or implants for vascular procedures. State and local governments do not appear to be buying this specific medical device or the procedure itself through standard procurement channels; the code shows little relevant recent activity, and the tagged opportunities represent a clear mismatch between the code's intended scope and the work actually being solicited.

The opportunities that were tagged to this code instead reflect municipal benefits administration, health system staffing coordination, and detention healthcare contracting across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Issuers include city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, and state transportation departments. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and focus prospecting efforts on the actual categories under which these healthcare administration and staffing opportunities are being solicited.
