UNSPSC 85515576: Dilation of right anterior tibial artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 047P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515576 Dilation of right anterior tibial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a blood vessel; however, the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve vascular dilation procedures. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to health services contracting that falls outside its nominal scope.

State and local governments do pursue occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, and specialty medical networks through formal procurement, but those activities are tagged under different UNSPSC classifications. The opportunities posted in recent months—including the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical center-of-excellence carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026)—represent substantive procurement volume across state departments, county health systems, and municipal benefits offices. None of these align meaningfully with the vascular surgery code as written. Vendors pursuing health services contracting at state and local levels should verify the correct UNSPSC classification in each solicitation rather than rely on this code number as a reliable indicator of opportunity.
