UNSPSC 85515354: Supplement right popliteal artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right popliteal artery with autologous 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 04UM07Z

UNSPSC 85515354 Supplement right popliteal artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical vascular procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with that surgical scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve vascular surgery or tissue supplementation. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to these solicitations, resulting in no relevant recent activity that matches the code's stated procedure.

Given this fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, the code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors focused on vascular surgical services or related clinical supplies. State and local jurisdictions issuing under this code in recent months include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—but their solicitations address administrative and staffing services rather than surgical procedure supplies or services. A vendor evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with state and local procurement offices before pursuing opportunities listed under 85515354.
