UNSPSC 85515938: Destruction of right popliteal artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 045M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515938 Destruction of right popliteal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular intervention or the specific procedural code the taxonomy nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification error at the source level. The opportunities that do appear reflect broader healthcare administration and occupational medicine rather than clinical procedures.

State and local healthcare purchasers posting under this code include city pension boards, county health systems, county juvenile detention authorities, and municipal employee benefits offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the most directly relevant posted opportunities, though neither aligns with the code's nominal scope. The City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out program (due October 7, 2026) and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026) address administrative and benefit-design layers above clinical delivery. Absent clarification of the underlying coding error or the actual scope that issuing bodies intend when they tag opportunities to this code, pursuing this category risks resource misallocation and mismatched capability positioning.
