UNSPSC 85515517: Insertion of intraluminal device into left femoral artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left 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 04HL0DZ

UNSPSC 85515517, Insertion of intraluminal device into left femoral artery, open approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment between its code name and actual state and local procurement activity. The UNSPSC code—intended to classify a specific interventional vascular surgical procedure—does not match the scope of recent opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve intraluminal femoral artery device insertion or vascular intervention. The code appears to have been applied to a diverse set of health services solicitations that fall outside its nominal clinical scope, suggesting either classification error at the point of posting or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement.

Activity appears across multiple state and local issuing bodies—Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department)—with no single repeat buyer. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations at $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between code intent and actual procurement activity makes this code an unreliable signal for tracking intraluminal vascular device business; vendors should verify code accuracy before investing significant business development effort.
