UNSPSC 85515324: Restriction of right popliteal artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right popliteal artery with extraluminal 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 04VM0CZ

UNSPSC 85515324 Restriction of right popliteal artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded in the recent-opportunities block. The code nominally describes a surgical vascular procedure, but the six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to it encompass independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve restriction of a popliteal artery or the use of an extraluminal device. The mismatch indicates either a systematic miscoding issue in the source data or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader health services procurement rather than for the specific vascular procedure the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities do reflect a mixed pattern of issuing bodies and geographies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—but their scope diverges substantially from surgical vascular intervention. Given this material disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity, the code does not offer reliable visibility into state and local demand for vascular surgery services or related supplies. Prospective vendors in cardiovascular or vascular surgical services should not rely on this code for market intelligence or opportunity identification.
