UNSPSC 85515472: Occlusion of right popliteal artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right popliteal 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 04LM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515472 "Occlusion of right popliteal artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code classify work that spans occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and specialty medical services for youth in detention — none of which constitute the procedural intervention the code nominally names. The source shows a systematic mismatch between the code's clinical description and the actual procurement scope, suggesting the code has been misapplied or repurposed in the state and local taxonomy to capture a broader family of health services contracting that does not fit neatly into a single surgical-procedure Commodity.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies — municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits consortia (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara) — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction or state. Without genuine alignment between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being purchased, this code does not represent a coherent procurement market for business development purposes.
