UNSPSC 85516021: Restriction of left popliteal artery with extraluminal 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 extraluminal 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 04VN4CZ

UNSPSC 85516021 Restriction of left popliteal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but recent state and local activity under this code shows little alignment with that clinical description. The code appears to be capturing procurement of occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management administration, health professional staffing, surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — a broad and heterogeneous range of administrative healthcare services and medical staffing rather than procedural interventions on specific anatomical sites. State and local issuing bodies using this code include municipal pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipalities with large employee health plans. Recent solicitations span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out networks for city employees), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth).

Recent activity is distributed across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional five additional one-year extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System proposal for temporary health professional staffing (audiology, cardiology, radiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy) due October 7, 2026 as a non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work volume. The code does not consistently map to its nominal scope across recent opportunities, suggesting potential classification misalignment in state and local procurement systems.
