UNSPSC 85515471: Occlusion of left popliteal artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left popliteal artery with extraluminal 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 04LN0CZ

UNSPSC 85515471 Occlusion of left popliteal artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which address vascular surgery, arterial occlusion procedures, or the implantation of extraluminal devices. The code's clinical specificity (a particular vascular surgical procedure) conflicts sharply with what state and local buyers are actually soliciting, which centers on administrative, consultative, and workforce management services within health systems and government employee benefits programs.

The issuing bodies in recent activity span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health departments (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County). No meaningful procurement pattern exists under this code; the mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and actual solicitation scope suggests either a data error in code assignment or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for goods or services they regularly acquire. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local pursuit.
