UNSPSC 85515877: Drainage of right posterior tibial artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 049R3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515877 Drainage of right posterior tibial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this classification do not reflect the procedure itself; instead, they cover administrative medical services, employee health benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, and specialty health staffing — work fundamentally disconnected from the code's stated scope of arterial drainage intervention.

The recent opportunities in the block span six separate jurisdictions and service lines: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requesting proposals for surgical benefit carve-out programs for PPO members (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners requesting pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities by the issuing bodies themselves. No state or local procurement activity targeting the specific arterial drainage procedure described in the code's title is present in the recent-opportunities block.
