About UNSPSC 85515600
UNSPSC 85515600 Principal arteries lower extremities, open approach—part D is a Class code that nominally describes surgical intervention codes but shows no alignment with state and local government procurement activity in recent solicitations. The code's medical taxonomy designation does not match the scope of work actually being bought under this code identifier in the state and local market.
The recent opportunities tagged to this code span correctional-facility healthcare contracting, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction—none of which represent surgical vascular procedures on lower extremities. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division in Georgia issued RFP 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health in California issued RFP 2025-007 for peer support services for mental health workers (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department in California issued RFP 455 for a Medical Director for EMS oversight (due October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity and the mismatch between its surgical-procedure scope and the healthcare administration and clinical support services actually being procured suggests this code has been misapplied to state and local opportunities that do not belong under it.
