UNSPSC 85515520: Insertion of infusion device into right femoral artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into 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 04HK03Z

UNSPSC 85515520 Insertion of infusion device into right femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not involve vascular surgery, infusion devices, or femoral artery procedures. Instead, the posted solicitations center on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. The code shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under it, indicating the code is not being applied consistently or accurately by issuing bodies in the procurement records available.

The geographic spread of activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida across the past two months, with no jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent opportunities. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026; and Collier County in Florida posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. The lack of alignment between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities, combined with the absence of vascular or interventional procedures in any recent solicitation, suggests this code warrants review for applicability rather than active pursuit at this time.
