UNSPSC 85515433: Repair left posterior tibial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left posterior tibial artery, 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 04QS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515433 Repair left posterior tibial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with this vascular repair scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect health services administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve surgical repair of arteries. The code appears to be a mismatch between the procurement system's taxonomy assignment and the actual goods or services being solicited, limiting its utility as a reliable signal for vendors pursuing contracts in this category.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington state, issued by city retirement offices, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal definition does not match the scope of work actually being procured, vendors should evaluate whether these specific opportunities align with their capabilities rather than relying on the code itself to forecast future demand in vascular surgery services.
