This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 045N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515937 Destruction of left popliteal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this designation in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for retirement disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the vascular surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or a legacy code assignment that no longer tracks current procurement activity. State and local purchasing offices issuing under this code include city retirement systems, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies, with no single repeat buyer across the recent opportunities.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with posting dates between July and September 2026 and response dates ranging from September through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RFP, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services in ancillary clinical categories (RFQ, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal and warrants verification with issuing bodies before pursing opportunities designated under this classification.
