UNSPSC 85515424: Replacement of right popliteal artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right popliteal 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 04RM07Z

UNSPSC 85515424, Replacement of right popliteal artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The posted opportunities involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which concern vascular surgical procedures or the specific arterial repair work the code nominally describes. The code appears to have been misapplied to health-services and benefits-administration opportunities that fall outside its clinical procedure scope.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span Arizona, California, Washington State, Florida, and Texas issuing bodies, including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county probation departments (Harris County), and county procurement offices (Collier County). The activity is fragmented across independent medical evaluation RFPs, occupational health surveillance RFPs, pharmacy benefit management RFPs, health professional staffing qualification pools, and surgical benefit carve-out RFPs—none substantively related to orthopedic vascular reconstruction. Representatives include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026, ITB notice), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (proposals due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant activity for the specific vascular surgical procedure it nominally describes.
