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 047V04Z

UNSPSC 85515566 Dilation of right foot artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant state and local procurement activity. The code appears to classify a specific surgical procedure — a medical intervention performed by physicians in clinical settings — rather than a procurable product or service that state and local governments typically solicit through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITT processes. The recent opportunities tagged under this code (independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing) are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, or staffing contracting, not the direct provision of surgical interventions. These opportunities diverge substantially from the code's nominal scope and do not reflect genuine procurement demand aligned with the commodity definition.

State and local governments do not purchase surgical procedures as discrete line items; they contract with health systems, hospitals, and clinical providers for comprehensive healthcare services, and those vendor relationships typically fall outside UNSPSC taxonomy altogether or are tagged to higher-order healthcare classification codes. The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope signals that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or the code itself does not reflect a meaningful category for state and local public procurement. Buyers evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for direct procurement purposes.
