UNSPSC 85515415: Replacement of left anterior tibial artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left anterior tibial 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 04RQ07Z

UNSPSC 85515415 Replacement of left anterior tibial artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no connection to the state and local procurement opportunities presently tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular replacement of the left anterior tibial artery using autologous tissue — yet recent opportunities solicited under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve anterior tibial artery replacement procedures or vascular surgery services of any kind. The mismatch suggests a classification or tagging error in the state and local procurement systems rather than legitimate market activity under this code.

Recent opportunities show no consistent pattern of vascular surgical services, physician-directed interventional procedures, or related medical device procurement. The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state department), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but this reflects the diversity of healthcare administration and staffing needs being solicited under the misapplied code rather than concentration in any region purchasing vascular surgical services. The code appears inactive for its stated clinical scope; vendors pursuing vascular surgical procedures, related devices, or services should verify accurate code assignment rather than rely on the current tagging pattern.
