UNSPSC 85515721: Restriction of left popliteal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left popliteal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous 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 04VN3CZ

UNSPSC 85515721 Restriction of left popliteal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose name describes a specific interventional vascular procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful relationship to that procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the nominal scope; the posted opportunities span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular intervention or the technical work the code nominally addresses. The mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic misclassification by issuing bodies or a taxonomy limitation that state and local procurement offices have not resolved.

The opportunities do reveal that state and local health-related procurement spans diverse issuing bodies — municipal retirement systems and city human resources departments (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county benefits consortiums (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County) — with response dates clustered in September and October 2026. However, the UNSPSC coding does not provide a reliable signal for vendors seeking to compete in vascular intervention procurement at the state and local level. Firms pursuing healthcare contracting in this jurisdiction tier should monitor health system procurement portals, county human resources and benefits RFPs, and state occupational health divisions directly rather than relying on this code's taxonomy classification.
