UNSPSC 85515447 Release left popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope—the sourced solicitations document healthcare service contracts for inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction, none of which involve orthopedic or vascular surgery. State and local procurement data suggests this code is either misapplied to general healthcare contracting or sees minimal activity in the surgical-procedure domain that the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the source include county government procurement divisions (Collier County, Monroe County, and Muscogee County in Georgia), a county health behavioral services department (San Mateo County), and a city fire department (Santa Monica). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with at least one opportunity in Georgia. Without additional sourced opportunities demonstrating actual procurement under this code's intended scope, the summary cannot reliably characterize purchasing patterns, repeat buyers, or the volume of state and local demand for the surgical service the code nominally names.
