UNSPSC 85515521: Extirpation of matter from left foot artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left foot 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 04CW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515521 Extirpation of matter from left foot artery, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows no relevant procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the left foot artery, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical specialty networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a particular arterial surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that this code has been misapplied to health services procurement that falls outside its intended definition.

The source records show health-related activity across multiple state and local issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, none of these opportunities involves arterial surgery, and the code itself does not appear to map to the actual work being solicited. Given this fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the scope of recent opportunities filed under it, this code does not represent a usable procurement signal for business development purposes.
