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 045L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515609 Destruction of left femoral artery, open approach, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal clinical scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these purchases involve destruction of a femoral artery or constitute operative surgical procedures on that vessel. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the underlying records or use of this code as a catch-all for unrelated medical services procurement.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county corrections departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation), county commissioners (Collier County), and health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Recent solicitations include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services in a youth detention setting (due September 25, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's RFP for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction showing repeated procurement under the code's stated scope.
