UNSPSC 85515586: Dilation of left femoral artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left femoral artery with intraluminal 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 047L0DZ

UNSPSC 85515586 Dilation of left femoral artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted against this code reflect occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve femoral artery dilation procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity within state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and pension boards (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. These misdirected or unrelated solicitations suggest either a systematic coding error in the state and local opportunity database or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder for medical services that do not map to a specific UNSPSC classification. Business development professionals targeting vascular surgical services or device procurement should verify code classification through the issuing body before pursuit, as this code's posting history does not support procurement under its stated definition.
