UNSPSC 85515514 Insertion of infusion device into left popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its stated scope and current procurement activity; opportunities range from post-procedure support services and occupational health compliance to administrative medical record review and staffing placement, suggesting either systematic miscoding or administrative drift in how this code is being applied to medical-support contracts that do not involve the popliteal artery procedure itself.

Recent activity spans four states and includes solicitations from county governments, state agencies, and municipalities. The Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical care network carve-out with go-live targeted for April 1, 2027; Collier County is managing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual spending of $8.7 million; the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth with responses due September 25, 2026. Given the code's procedural specificity and the absence of any recent opportunity actually requesting the named surgical service, this code warrants review for recoding; current activity appears misaligned with the commodity definition.
