UNSPSC 85515538: Excision of right popliteal artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 04BM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515538 Excision of right popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the sample. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to surgical intervention — they cover inmate healthcare delivery, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local procurement offices appear to have miscoded these opportunities, as none involve vascular surgery or the excision procedures the code nominally describes.

The source contains no recent solicitations for services or products that match the code's defined scope of surgical services. This mismatch signals either a data quality issue in the coding system or that this Commodity code sees little to no active state and local procurement matching its intended use case. Business development professionals evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under UNSPSC 85515538 should verify code alignment independently before responding to any posted solicitation, as the recent activity provides no valid market signal for this surgical procedure classification.
