UNSPSC 85516008: Restriction of left posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 04VS4DZ

UNSPSC 85516008 Restriction of left posterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural code name and the state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs for employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — address administrative health services, occupational medicine programs, and benefits management rather than vascular surgical procedures. The code appears to capture health and human services procurement activity broadly, not the specific arterial intervention the code nominally describes, suggesting either a misclassification pattern in how state and local procurement offices tag these opportunities or a systematic drift in the code's practical use. The issuing bodies include county human resources and retirement offices (Phoenix, Long Beach, Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems, reflecting a mix of municipal employee benefits administration and occupational health programs.

Activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent representative opportunities being the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at ferries locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's clinical specificity versus the administrative and occupational health character of recent solicitations, the code shows limited relevant recent activity and warrants verification against actual procurement intent before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
