UNSPSC 85515752: Supplement right popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 04UM3KZ

UNSPSC 85515752 Supplement right popliteal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — supplementation of the right popliteal artery using synthetic or processed tissue — but the recent opportunities tagged to this code are unrelated to vascular surgical supplies or services. Recent solicitations under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing placement. None of these categories involve vascular surgical implants, arterial supplements, or procedural supply procurement.

The mismatch between the code's anatomical specificity and the purchasing activity appears to reflect either classification error in the tagging process or a data integrity issue in how these opportunities were categorized. State and local bodies do procure medical devices and implants through group purchasing organizations and direct supplier relationships, but those acquisitions are typically coded under device-specific commodity categories rather than routed through procedure-code taxonomy. Bidders should verify the correct code classification with the issuing bodies before pursuing any of the referenced opportunities, as the current code assignment does not align with the work actually being solicited.
