UNSPSC 85515541: Drainage of left foot artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left foot 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 049W0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515541 Drainage of left foot artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code in state and local systems span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve drainage of the left foot artery or related vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems may be applying this medical procedure code to broader health services contracting when no more granular classification exists in their tagging workflows.

Across the opportunities present, issuing bodies include a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and a city benefits program (City of Long Beach). Recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers at 14 Washington locations with a two-year term and optional five-year extension, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations covering approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and related fields), due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed volume and a five-year list duration. The code appears to be a technical classification error rather than an active procurement category for vascular surgery.
