UNSPSC 85515525: Extirpation of matter from left anterior tibial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left anterior tibial 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 04CQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515525 Extirpation of matter from left anterior tibial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—removal of arterial blockage via surgical incision—yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit vascular surgery services, arterial intervention, or related surgical supplies or equipment. Instead, the opportunities solicited are administrative health services (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations), occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, and surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees. None of these services correspond to the specific arterial procedure the code nominates.

The geographic and issuing-body spread of recent opportunities is broad but disconnected from the code's surgical scope. Solicitations posted since July 2026 originate from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The code shows no apparent repeat buyers and no substantive recent activity aligned with arterial vascular surgery procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the health services work actually being sourced suggests the code is either misapplied in the state and local taxonomy or sees minimal legitimate procurement activity in this tier of government.
