This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 049L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515887 Drainage of left femoral artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contracting activity present in the source material. The opportunities tagged under this code reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which constitute drainage of a left femoral artery or other procedural interventions at the clinical level. The mismatch suggests that the code was applied to broad health services categories rather than to a specific surgical or interventional procedure, and the recent solicitations do not support pursuing opportunities under this code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast (Arizona, California, Florida, Washington), with no clear repeat buyers under this specific code. The representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), but these are administrative and benefits-related rather than procedural interventions, making the code assignment questionable and pursuit inadvisable without clarification from the issuing bodies.
