UNSPSC 85516024: Restriction of right 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 right 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 04VM4CZ

UNSPSC 85516024 Restriction of right popliteal artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular intervention on the popliteal artery — yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect surgical interventions at that level of specificity. Instead, the opportunities involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and Centers of Excellence coordination for elective surgical procedures. None of these solicitations align with procurement of a defined vascular surgical service or the specialized equipment, supplies, or procedural support that a popliteal artery restriction code would normally encompass. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or use of a catch-all UNSPSC classification where more precise codes were unavailable.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension administration), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit administration), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the lack of alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement opportunity category for vendors providing vascular surgery, interventional cardiology, or related specialty medical devices and services at this time.
