This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right popliteal artery, 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 04NM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515788 Release right popliteal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular intervention on the right popliteal artery via percutaneous technique — but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect medical procedures or vascular services. Instead, the opportunities solicited include comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director oversight. None of these categories involve popliteal artery release or percutaneous vascular interventions. The code appears to have been incorrectly applied to these opportunities, rendering it of limited use for business development professionals focused on actual surgical or interventional vascular work at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block span county corrections (Columbus Consolidated Government, Muscogee County Prison), county human resources and health benefits administration (Collier County, Monroe County), county behavioral health (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California. No state-level volume or repeat pattern in this code supports a concentration of purchasing in any single jurisdiction or region. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants verification against current state and local procurement databases before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
