UNSPSC 85516020: Restriction of left popliteal 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 popliteal 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 04VN4DZ

UNSPSC 85516020 Restriction of left popliteal artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve left popliteal artery interventions. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in the state and local procurement system or serves as a catchall for healthcare services procurement that does not map cleanly to the UNSPSC procedure-level taxonomy.

The issuing bodies include a mix of county health systems, county and city government departments, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments. Recent opportunities posted include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit RFP (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually in historical spending). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. The code shows minimal coherence as a procurement category and appears poorly suited for business development targeting — vendors pursuing healthcare services under this code should verify actual scope with individual issuing bodies rather than rely on the nominal code description.
