UNSPSC 85515859: Extirpation of matter from left femoral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left femoral 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 04CL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515859, Extirpation of matter from left femoral artery, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under its designation. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pension-disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention medical services — none of which align with the specific clinical procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or inappropriately to medical-services categories that fall outside vascular intervention. The issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, state departments of transportation, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments, reflecting broad jurisdiction types seeking clinical administrative and staffing solutions rather than interventional vascular procedures.

The geographic spread spans Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries), California (Santa Clara County Health System, Long Beach), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Arizona (City of Phoenix), with no clustering indicating strong regional demand. Recent representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), which seeks baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry locations for shipyard and crew workers; the City of Phoenix disability pension medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), which solicits record summarization and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual disability retirement applications; and the Santa Clara County Health System multiple-award temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), which establishes a vendor pool across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no recent activity in alignment with its stated vascular-intervention scope and warrants clarification or correction with state and local procurement offices to avoid continued misclassification of administrative health services.
