UNSPSC 85516026: Restriction of left femoral 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 femoral 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 04VL4DZ

UNSPSC 85516026 Restriction of left femoral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code assigned to a medical procedure classification that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—reflect administrative health services, benefits management, and clinical staffing, none of which correspond to the specific interventional radiological or vascular procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the posting system or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a miscellaneous catch-all for health services outside its intended scope.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated procurement volume. Recent opportunities span city retirement boards (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The source contains no evidence of substantive procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal definition as a vascular intervention procedure. Unless the code is being systematically misused across multiple jurisdictions, pursuit under this code warrants verification with issuing bodies before investment in proposal development.
