UNSPSC 85515863: Excision of left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left posterior tibial 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 04BS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515863 Excision of left posterior tibial artery, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or the specific procedure named in the code. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to health plan administration, workforce medical examinations, and clinical staffing solicitations. Buyers across these categories — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — are pursuing healthcare delivery, benefits administration, and occupational health services rather than surgical interventions.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic tagging error within these jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed to capture broad medical services contracting. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for state and local surgical services procurement and instead monitor the Family-level code under which these health services opportunities actually fall, as the opportunities themselves span benefits design, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing rather than surgical procedures.
