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 04NS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515443, Release left posterior tibial artery, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not map to state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—a vascular intervention within orthopedic or cardiovascular surgery — but the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code cover healthcare services procurement entirely unrelated to surgical procedures: inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support programming, and fire department medical direction. The code designation appears to be a categorization mismatch rather than a reflection of actual procurement scope.

Activity under this code shows no substantive state and local procurement market. The five recent opportunities span healthcare administration and services contracting across Georgia, Florida, and California — Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care, RFP 628, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (peer support pilot, RFP 2025-007), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director, RFP 455) — but none solicits surgical services or procedural capability. Until this code reflects actual procurement patterns in state and local healthcare contracting, pursuing opportunities flagged under 85515443 should be deferred in favor of codes that accurately describe the healthcare services, management, and staffing work these jurisdictions are actively buying.
