UNSPSC 85516017: Restriction of right anterior 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 right anterior 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 04VP4DZ

UNSPSC 85516017 Restriction of right anterior tibial artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this classification. The code shows little relevant recent activity; recent opportunities tagged under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no connection to vascular intervention or tibial artery restriction.

The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the actual scope of recently posted opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data quality issue in the underlying taxonomy assignment. Firms evaluating pursuit of opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of work in the primary RFP or RFQ notice rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation alone. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State, Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but these jurisdictions do not appear to be pursuing vascular surgery services or related supply contracts. Without concrete evidence that state and local bodies are buying the service the code nominally describes, the code does not represent a current market opportunity for vascular intervention vendors.
