UNSPSC 85515939: Destruction of left femoral artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left femoral 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 045L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515939 Destruction of left femoral artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities recorded under it. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve the percutaneous destruction of a femoral artery or relate to the specific procedural code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code has been misapplied to a broader family of healthcare services procurement rather than the discrete surgical intervention its code name describes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a regional health system (Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 at a maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. Without reliable alignment between the code's stated procedure and the work actually being solicited, this code presents little clear guidance for business development targeting in this category.
