UNSPSC 85515608: Destruction of right popliteal artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 045M0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515608 Destruction of right popliteal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code appears to name a specific surgical procedure or clinical diagnosis code rather than a procurable product or service category. The six recent opportunities posted across state and local jurisdictions—including independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are consistently and legitimately tagged to health care administration, occupational health compliance, clinical staffing, and benefit plan management, none of which relate to the destruction of a popliteal artery. This mismatch suggests either a data error in the UNSPSC assignment or a misconfiguration of the taxonomy mapping in the underlying procurement database.

No state and local opportunities reviewed are actually soliciting the procedure or service named by this code. The recent activity shows demand for health care administration, occupational safety medical services, and clinical staffing across diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—but none of these opportunities involve procurement of the surgical procedure described by the code. The code appears to require clarification or correction before it can serve as a reliable signal for business development targeting state and local health care or occupational medical services procurement.
