UNSPSC 85515878: Drainage of right posterior tibial artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right posterior tibial artery with drainage device, 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 049R30Z

UNSPSC 85515878 "Drainage of right posterior tibial artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that shows a misalignment between its narrow clinical procedure taxonomy designation and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect vascular interventional procedures; instead, they encompass occupational and disability medical examination services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and juvenile detention healthcare — none of which involve the specific posterior tibial artery drainage procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal human resources functions, suggesting the code has been applied broadly and inconsistently across health care administration and benefits management work rather than clinical procedure procurement.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, via Washington State Ferries), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-pool RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen ancillary clinical categories, with responses due October 7, 2026. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy tag for health services procurement rather than a reliable indicator of vascular procedure procurement intent, making it a poor targeting filter for firms specializing in interventional medical devices or supplies.
