UNSPSC 85515451: Occlusion of left foot 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 04LW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515451 "Occlusion of left foot artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code appears designed for a specific surgical procedure rather than a service category that public bodies commonly purchase. The recent opportunities tagged under this code fall outside its nominal scope: they involve independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities address arterial occlusion treatment or surgical intervention on foot arteries.

The source shows no recent state and local contract opportunities that actually seek procurement of the procedural service named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the opportunities listed suggests a taxonomy classification error rather than active market demand under this Commodity. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit for specific surgical procedures using UNSPSC codes; they contract for medical services, staffing, benefit administration, and health surveillance at a higher functional level. Firms evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing any of the named solicitations, as the code does not reflect the actual work being bought.
