UNSPSC 85515461: Occlusion of right posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, 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 04LR0DZ

UNSPSC 85515461, Occlusion of right posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not align with vascular surgery or medical device procurement. Instead, the most recent opportunities reflect a mismatch: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services; the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara Health System called for temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve vascular surgical implants, interventional radiology, or the specific procedure named in the code. The code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris, Collier, Santa Clara), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with activity concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. The opportunities are geographically dispersed across the West and South, with no regional concentration. The mismatch between the code's technical name and the scope of recent opportunities suggests either a data-tagging error in the source records or a fundamental misalignment between this Commodity code's intended use and current state and local procurement practice.
