UNSPSC 85515554: Drainage of left popliteal artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left popliteal 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 049N00Z

UNSPSC 85515554 Drainage of left popliteal artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure, but the six opportunities recently tagged to it span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular drainage procedures. The mismatch reflects a classification error in the source records rather than active procurement under the code's stated scope.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara), counties (Harris, Collier), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county juvenile probation department. Representative recent opportunities include occupational medical surveillance services from the Washington State Department of Transportation due October 9, 2026; disability medical evaluation services from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office due October 16, 2026; pharmacy benefit management services from Collier County due April 9, 2026; and a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara Health System due October 7, 2026. Activity is geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas, with no geographic concentration. Because the code's nominal scope and the actual recent solicitations are fundamentally misaligned, business development professionals should not assume that this code reliably identifies relevant opportunities in vascular surgery or related orthopedic and medical device domains — the tagging error suggests either a data quality issue upstream or a need to monitor opportunities directly rather than rely on UNSPSC classification at this commodity level.
