UNSPSC 85515921: Dilation of left popliteal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left popliteal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal 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 047N34Z

UNSPSC 85515921, Dilation of left popliteal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific interventional cardiology procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not purchase medical devices or perform the procedure itself. Instead, the solicitations address broader health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detainees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the specialized vascular intervention the code ostensibly covers. This mismatch suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or a taxonomic boundary issue within UNSPSC application at the state and local level.

The few opportunities tagged to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: Phoenix's pension boards (RFP for independent medical evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical carve-out benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (RFP for occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County (RFP for pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. None of these opportunities directly procure the device or procedure named in the commodity code, and state and local governments show no clear purchasing pattern under this code at present.
