UNSPSC 85515919: Dilation of left popliteal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left popliteal 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 047N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515919 Dilation of left popliteal artery, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve dilation of popliteal arteries or related vascular interventions. Instead, the code has been applied to a diverse set of healthcare administrative and staffing services including medical record summarization for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. These services span disability evaluation coordination, centers of excellence network management, occupational health compliance, inpatient and emergency care provision, pharmacy claims processing and formulary management, and temporary clinical staffing placement—none of which involve the specific vascular surgical procedure named in the code. State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code appear to be health systems, county human resources and procurement offices, state transportation departments, juvenile justice agencies, and benefits administrators seeking to procure or contract for healthcare services and administration rather than to purchase or arrange a particular surgical intervention.

Activity under the code spans multiple states and issuing bodies without geographic or organizational concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted a $750,000, five-year RFP for independent medical evaluation services with medical record summarization due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program management with proposals due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody due September 25, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicited a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity indicating procurement of the named surgical procedure itself, suggesting either systematic miscoding or that the commodity code has been broadly repurposed within state and local procurement systems to encompass broader healthcare service contracting.
