UNSPSC 85515407: Replacement of left posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left posterior tibial 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 04RS0KZ

UNSPSC 85515407, Replacement of left posterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which constitute surgical vascular procedures or align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code is not being used by state and local procurement offices to buy actual vascular surgery services or related medical devices.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. State and local governments tagging solicitations to this Commodity are buying healthcare administration, occupational health program services, and workforce staffing solutions rather than the surgical procedures the code describes. Without evidence of appropriately coded vascular-surgery-related solicitations, this code does not offer a viable procurement path for vendors offering vascular grafts, surgical supplies, or related vascular intervention products and services to state and local bodies.
