UNSPSC 85515607: Destruction of left popliteal artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 045N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515607 Destruction of left popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification are unrelated to vascular surgery—they encompass independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical Centers of Excellence benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric detention healthcare services. This mismatch suggests either inconsistent UNSPSC tagging by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical scope and its actual use in state and local procurement systems.

The absence of activity aligned with the code's stated surgical description means there is no actionable market signal for vascular surgery destruction procedures under this UNSPSC classification at the state and local level. Firms pursuing surgical services through state and local procurement channels should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for their specialties and monitor issuing bodies in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington where the mistagged opportunities originate, but should not expect procurement volume under this particular code.
