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 04CL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515529 Extirpation of matter from left femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not describe the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the surgical procedure named in the code's definition. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the posting systems or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for general medical services procurement beyond its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and county health systems. Recent activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The code shows no coherent recent procurement pattern aligned to its stated definition; business development professionals should verify code classification with issuing bodies before bid pursuit.
