UNSPSC 85515570: Dilation of right posterior tibial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right posterior 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 047R0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515570, Dilation of right posterior tibial artery, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government purchasing activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the posterior tibial artery; however, recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code reflect occupational and administrative medical services, employee health benefit program management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery or the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a systemic misclassification in the state and local procurement taxonomy.

The recent opportunities show that issuing bodies tagging this code are state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county commissioners offices (Collier County). The work being solicited includes occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations in Washington (due October 9, 2026); disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations for Phoenix retirement boards (due October 16, 2026); temporary health professional staffing in audiology, cardiology, radiology, and other ancillary categories for Santa Clara County Health System (due October 7, 2026); surgical procedure carve-out networks for Long Beach municipal employees (due October 7, 2026); and pharmacy benefit management for Collier County covering approximately 7,200 eligible members with historical annual spend around $8.7 million (original due date April 9, 2026, now closed). No meaningful pattern emerges connecting these opportunities to the code's nominal scope, and the code shows no recent activity in vascular surgery procurement by state and local governments.
