UNSPSC 85515478: Occlusion of right femoral artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right femoral 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 04LK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515478 Occlusion of right femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve femoral artery occlusion procedures or vascular surgery. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems have tagged these health service opportunities under an ICD-procedure-derived code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited.

The recent opportunities do reveal state and local demand for occupational medicine, disability benefits administration, specialty network management, and clinical staffing, but these solicitations should not be characterized as activity under this Commodity code. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent genuine procurement activity, but neither aligns with the code's nominal scope. Practitioners should verify the intended UNSPSC family or class before pursuing opportunities flagged under this Commodity designation, as the tagging appears inconsistent with the goods or services actually being bought.
