UNSPSC 85515819: Occlusion of left popliteal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left 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 04LN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515819 Occlusion of left popliteal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular treatment of a blocked popliteal artery — yet the six most recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve percutaneous vascular procedures or popliteal artery intervention. The code shows no relevant procurement activity in state and local markets; the tagging appears to reflect a misclassification rather than genuine buying demand for the narrowly defined service.

State and local procurement does not currently use this code to solicit actual vascular surgical services. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for their purposes and seek opportunities under codes aligned with health systems procurement, occupational medicine, or benefit administration if those service lines are a strategic focus.
