UNSPSC 85516029: Restriction of right 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 right 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 04VK4DZ

UNSPSC 85516029 Restriction of right femoral artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure — a percutaneous endoscopic intervention on the femoral artery — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not procure or specify this procedure or any closely related interventional vascular services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the code's stated clinical focus on arterial restriction techniques.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitation activity suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging these opportunities or that the code itself is being applied inconsistently across jurisdictions. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether opportunities posted under 85516029 in specific states or regions actually match the code's intended scope before developing pursuit strategy. The recent opportunities shown — including the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara temporary clinical staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026) — appear to have been tagged to this code without substantive connection to femoral artery intervention procedures, indicating that direct procurement under the code's true scope may be too sparse to support reliable market tracking at this time.
