UNSPSC 85515812 Occlusion of right posterior tibial artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The source material contains no solicitations for the clinical procedure described in the code's name. The six most-recent posted opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve arterial occlusion procedures or interventional vascular work. The code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement purposes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure scope and the actual opportunities tagged to it suggests either a data-entry or classification error in the state and local procurement system that posted these records. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for now and verify whether the code is appropriate for the jurisdiction's taxonomy, or whether the issuing bodies are simply using it incorrectly for administrative services and staffing that belong in different codes.
