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 04NR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515444 Release right posterior tibial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it by state and local governments. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code span correctional facility inmate medical and pharmacy services, county employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical vascular procedures or the clinical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch indicates either a misclassification of opportunities within the procurement system or a systematic tagging error that has populated this surgical-procedure code with general healthcare service solicitations.

Given this disconnect, the code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for businesses pursuing state and local contracts in the domain the code is designed to represent. The opportunities listed under it are healthcare administrative and service delivery contracts rather than surgical supplies, equipment, or procedural-specific services. Practitioners should verify their search strategy or confirm with procurement offices whether opportunities in vascular surgical support, surgical instruments, or related clinical inputs are tagged to a different UNSPSC code or family within healthcare services.
