UNSPSC 85515924: Dilation of right 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 right 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 047M34Z

UNSPSC 85515924 Dilation of right popliteal artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific interventional cardiovascular procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification—independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefits carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—do not involve vascular intervention devices or percutaneous arterial dilation procedures. This mismatch indicates either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical scope and actual state and local purchasing needs under this classification.

The apparent coding errors span multiple issuing bodies (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara Health System) across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, suggesting widespread inconsistency in how these jurisdictions apply UNSPSC medical-device and procedure taxonomy. No state or local government has solicited vascular intervention devices, intraluminal stents, or drug-eluting technology under this code in the recent opportunity set. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local contracting purposes and verify actual procurement intent directly with issuing bodies rather than relying on the posted UNSPSC classification.
