This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right anterior tibial artery, 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 04VP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85516016 Restriction of right anterior tibial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this designation. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code show no procurement activity for the vascular surgical procedure named in the code's title. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing placement. These solicitations address health benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing rather than any arterial restriction or endoscopic vascular intervention. The mismatch between the code's technical medical procedure title and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement systems or a code designation that no longer reflects current purchasing patterns.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county juvenile justice and probation departments (Harris County), and county benefits administration (Collier County). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings from August through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000, the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Given the consistent mismatch between the code designation and all recent opportunities, the code shows little relevant activity for its stated commodity scope.
