UNSPSC 85515369: Reposition left femoral artery, 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 04SL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515369 Reposition left femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a mismatch: they solicit independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits programs. None of these services involve femoral artery repositioning or operative vascular procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement that matches its clinical description.

The issuing bodies across the unrelated opportunities span city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems and juvenile justice agencies (Harris County, Santa Clara County), county commissioners (Collier County), and municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach). Geographic representation includes Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the broad healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits services actually being solicited suggests either a categorization error in the source data or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems have tagged these opportunities. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for surgical services procurement and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for state and local medical services opportunities through direct RFP review rather than code-level filtering.
