UNSPSC 85515349: Supplement left popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 04UN0KZ

UNSPSC 85515349 Supplement left popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under its designation. The code's nomenclature references a specific surgical procedure — arterial supplementation using synthetic tissue — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code describe occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery, prosthetic implants, or the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch indicates a classification error or overbroad tagging rather than active state and local demand for the coded service line.

The geographic sources of recent opportunities tagged to this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though their content bears no relationship to arterial supplementation services. State and local procurement under this code shows little relevant recent activity. Vendors pursuing vascular surgical supply and implant opportunities should verify proper UNSPSC coding in each solicitation's scope section rather than rely on the posted code designation alone.
