UNSPSC 85515359: Supplement right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right femoral artery with synthetic 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 04UK0JZ

UNSPSC 85515359 Supplement right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it bears no meaningful relationship to vascular surgery or medical devices. The code shows no recent opportunities aligned with its nominal scope — state and local governments are not soliciting femoral artery supplements or related surgical implants under this classification. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code address occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical care network coordination. This mismatch signals either a cataloging error in the underlying procurement systems or a taxonomy misalignment that renders the code unreliable as a signal for vascular or orthopedic device procurement at the state and local level.

The six recent opportunities span issuing bodies in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida — city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and juvenile detention authorities — none of which are soliciting the product or service that the code name describes. The closest substantive activity involves the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Unless procurement data is corrected upstream, this code should not be relied upon to identify opportunities in vascular surgery, prosthetic devices, or related medical-device procurement.
