UNSPSC 85515427: Replacement of right femoral 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 femoral 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 04RK0KZ

UNSPSC 85515427, Replacement of right femoral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical-procedure nomenclature. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities in the state and local contracting market. The recent solicitations tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare services, benefits consulting, and workforce deployment rather than vascular surgical procedures or tissue-substitute implants. These opportunities span benefit administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing coordination, none of which align with the specific procedural and material scope the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across the recent tagged records include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), local government benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits programs (Collier County), and large public health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental absence of state and local procurement for the specific procedure and material type the code describes. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC classification for medical device, tissue substitute, and surgical implant categories before investing in pursuit strategy under this code.
