UNSPSC 85515865: Excision of left anterior tibial artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left anterior 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 04BQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515865 Excision of left anterior tibial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, state and local government purchasing under this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with the procedure name itself. The recent opportunities posted against this code track to broader healthcare service categories—independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which correspond to the specific arterial excision procedure nominally described by the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities or inconsistent tagging practices by issuing jurisdictions.

State and local bodies posting under this code span municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board RFP (due October 16, 2026) sought independent medical evaluation services with $750,000 maximum compensation over five years; the Washington State Ferries RFP (due October 9, 2026) requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals; Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (due October 7, 2026) established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories. Collier County's PBM services RFP and Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP represent non-clinical administrative functions. The code's use in state and local procurement appears driven by administrative tagging rather than procurement of the specific surgical procedure, limiting relevance for vendors in procedural surgery or arterial intervention.
