UNSPSC 85515539: Excision of left femoral artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left femoral 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 04BL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515539 Excision of left femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities presented. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent solicitations tagged under it—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing procurement rather than direct surgical intervention or procedure-specific services. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health-services opportunities or a structural misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement systems classify medical and health administrative work.

No state and local government solicitation in the recent-opportunities block is actually purchasing excision of femoral artery procedures or related surgical services as a product or service line. The opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—city pension boards, municipal HR departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health consortiums, and regional health systems—across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but none involve procurement of surgical procedures themselves. State and local procurement under this code shows no relevant recent activity.
