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 04NQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515445 Release left anterior tibial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to capture a specific surgical procedure rather than a product or service category commonly procured by state and local governments. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical interventions; instead, they document procurement of inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope.

The mismatch between the code's technical description and the actual opportunities posted suggests that state and local procurement offices may be using this code incorrectly or that the tagging reflects a data artifact rather than genuine demand for anterior tibial artery release procedures. No state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for surgical services matching the code name appears in the recent activity. The opportunities instead reflect broader healthcare administration, pharmacy management, mental health services, and emergency medical oversight across Florida, Georgia, and California jurisdictions. Until the source shows opportunities that genuinely solicit surgical procedure services or equipment aligned with vascular surgery, this code should be treated as inactive for state and local procurement purposes.
