UNSPSC 85515537: Excision of left popliteal artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left popliteal 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 04BN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515537 Excision of left popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director contracting—none of which involve surgical excision of arterial vessels. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the source data or that the code is being applied to healthcare contracting in a way that does not reflect its clinical definition.

The recent opportunities themselves represent genuine state and local healthcare procurement across multiple issuing bodies and geographies. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison with proposals due May 15, 2026, under a two-year initial term plus three optional one-year renewals, with current monthly costs of approximately $95,537.71. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued RFP 25-8414 on April 9, 2026, for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Monroe County, Florida Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP on March 14, 2026, for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members, with proposals due April 16, 2026, and contract effective October 1, 2026. San Mateo County Health, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services posted RFP No. 2025-007 on February 25, 2026, for a Mental Health Services Act Innovation Pilot Project focused on Peer Support for Peer Workers with total funding of $580,000. The Santa Monica Fire Department issued RFP 455 on February 25, 2026, seeking a physician to serve as Provider Agency Medical Director. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code should be treated as inactive or misclassified for procurement purposes.
