UNSPSC 85515460: Occlusion of right posterior tibial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right posterior tibial 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 04LR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515460 (Occlusion of right posterior tibial artery, open approach) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure classification—shows little alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve arterial occlusion procedures; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pension disability evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a misapplication of the code to administrative health services that fall outside its intended surgical classification. State and local buyers do solicit health services broadly—occupational medicine exams, disability benefit medical record summaries, specialty surgical referral networks, and temporary clinical staff placement—but these opportunities are being tagged with a code that names a discrete surgical intervention rather than an administrative or occupational health service category.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (acute and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31) for examinations across 14 Washington ferry system locations, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit medical record summaries and psychiatric examinations supporting the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System. However, none of these opportunities reflect the code's stated surgical procedure scope, suggesting this code does not currently represent an active or appropriately classified state and local procurement category.
