This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right anterior tibial artery with drainage device, 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 049P00Z

UNSPSC 85515552 "Drainage of right anterior tibial artery with drainage device, open approach" is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve drainage of the anterior tibial artery or the implantation of drainage devices. This mismatch suggests the code may have been incorrectly applied by issuing bodies or that the taxonomy assignment does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal government employers (City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Firms considering activity under this code should verify the actual scope of work required by any issuing body, as the code designation does not appear to predict the nature of the opportunity.
