This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left popliteal 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 047N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515579 Dilation of left popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve vascular surgical intervention. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, health plan administration, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with the specific procedural work the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual solicitation content suggests either inconsistent taxonomy application by issuing bodies or a data classification error; the code does not reflect meaningful current procurement activity in its stated domain.

State and local issuers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities under this code in the past two months, but the work solicited includes occupational health examinations for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), medical record summaries for public safety disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit management for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County, Florida), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County, Texas), and temporary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. These opportunities span different issuing bodies and different service lines with no thematic coherence to the code's stated procedural definition, making pursuit decisions difficult without clarity on whether the code taxonomy itself is reliable for this category.
