UNSPSC 85515870: Excision of right femoral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 04BK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515870 Excision of right femoral artery, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the five recent opportunities in the source—covering independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefits management, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent procurement of healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit-management services rather than direct provision of or billing for a femoral artery excision procedure. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a fundamental disconnect between the code's procedural scope and how state and local jurisdictions are actually tagging their healthcare services procurements.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation and benefits departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services under its Anthem PPO plan (responses due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (responses due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026). No recent state or local procurement activity appears to solicit the surgical procedure itself under this commodity code.
