UNSPSC 85515428: Replacement of right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right femoral artery with synthetic 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 04RK0JZ

UNSPSC 85515428 Replacement of right femoral artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy entry does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities on file show no solicitations for vascular surgical procedures or related medical device supply. Instead, the code has been applied to health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, and surgical carve-out benefits administration — none of which involves femoral artery replacement or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in one or more source systems or a temporary tagging anomaly; state and local procurement offices do not routinely acquire direct surgical services or implantable medical devices under this code's stated scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating dispersed issuing-body types across multiple state and local health systems, pension boards, and county administrative agencies rather than concentrated procurement activity. Without substantive alignment between the code's stated definition and the work actually being solicited, the code shows little relevant recent activity for business development professionals evaluating cardiovascular or orthopedic surgical supply or services.
