UNSPSC 85515416: Replacement of right anterior 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 right anterior 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 04RP0KZ

UNSPSC 85515416 Replacement of right anterior tibial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification bearing no relation to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect administrative and operational healthcare services — medical surveillance, disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical vascular replacement or operative procedures of any kind. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement practice suggests either a data entry error in the tagging systems of the issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC's medical procedure taxonomy and how state and local governments classify healthcare services contracting. No state or local opportunity in the source material involves surgical procurement, implant supply, or operative facility management.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum); the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). The code appears to carry misclassified procurement rather than active demand for the procedure it nominally describes. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare services contracting should verify code alignment independently before responding under this classification.
