This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right anterior tibial 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 049P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515551 Drainage of right anterior tibial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to have been misapplied to state and local health-care procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical procedures on the anterior tibial artery; instead, they reflect a broader range of health-care service procurement including medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health-professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure—and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-quality issue in the underlying opportunity records. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical definition.

Activity across the recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement systems, county governments, state transportation departments, health-care systems, and county probation departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach requested surgical-benefits carve-out management for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County Procurement sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, $8.7 million annual historical spend); the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health-professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Pursuit of opportunities under this code is not recommended given the fundamental disconnect between the code definition and the health-care services actually being solicited.
